[chbot] Sexy Christchurch Technologies looking for worldwide exposure?

[Hanno Sander]

Thanks Charles,
Yes, agricultural robotics is a great fit.  Thanks also to the link to
YAFFS.  I also can't forget your work on LeJOS (Java firmware for the
Lego Mindstorm)
I loved the movie about John's work "World's Fastest Indian", so yes,
I'll include a snippet of that as well.
