Introduction:
It has been a big challenge for the Roboexotica organisation to find a place where the can have all the events in the same building, explains Magnus Wurzer in this article, where he is also presenting the program for the last day, where they are giving awards.

Locations and Awards:
"What I like about this year's location at Ragnarhof its that it makes it possible to have all the events in the same building, which wasn't possible for the last two, three years. The conference was in a different location, and last year again, we had a side location, which we re-picked out of study. We picked the off space where we made our first Roboexotica in 1999 to have a concert there. But this year it's all in one space and the symposium will be in separate rooms, but like its just above the other room. So it's very convenient for me also to be able to catch all the events I wants. It's always my dilemma my challenge at Roboexotica, how not to miss the highlights, because I'm too busy answering questions, whatever..."

"Sunday we're having the other big highlights, which is the giving away the annual cocktail robot awards. Which will be preceded and followed by music entertainment, and it will be a big party again. The best robots in now more than five categories, we had to add more as the robots came in. Last year I think we awarded nine robots with trophies. So this concludes the event, and for the next few days everybody we'll have to deal with the hangovers by themselves".
