Editing Robo Sandwich Maker (section)

== Demonstration ==

# Set out the sandwich ingredients, plates, and silverware. Loosen the lids on any containers, but don't open them fully. Put on a pair of gloves, and explain to the audience that they will be leading this demonstration.
# Ask for two volunteers from the audience, and give them the markers and the white board or paper. Ask the volunteers to make a list of instructions for making a sandwich.
# Explain the catch: You are going to be playing a Robo Sandwich Maker, and as such you will be taking all directions ''literally''. If the audience sees you making the sandwich incorrectly, they need to shout "STOP", and rewrite the incorrect step.
# Have fun with being the Robo Sandwich Maker. Take all commands literally: "Put meat on bread" could mean to put the pack of meat on the bread loaf. "Add ketchup" could mean to put the ketchup bottle on top of the sandwich, or to squirt ketchup on the sandwich until someone says "STOP". If any commands are not written clearly, such as "Open it" or "Cut it", Just say "DOES NOT COMPUTE" and skip the step. Keep the paper towels nearby, as this will be messy!
# After one or two failed sandwiches, explain that the steps need to be written out as a list of clear, precise commands. Have the volunteers work together with the audience on making a list of commands to make a sandwich, and then retry. If there are any hiccups, pause the sandwich making on that step and say "NEEDS CLARIFICATION", and have them rewrite it to make it clear.
# When the sandwich is successfully made, Either take a bite yourself or cut it and have your volunteers try it. Congratulate everyone on successfully directing the Robo Sandwich Maker!
