Since this is a demo, we could use this as an opportunity to demonstrate espeak functionality, and change the line to

Sound.speak('Robot starting').wait()

It will also be easier to notice when launched from brickman interface.

Is there a demo somewhere on how to vim a .sh file and chmod + x it so it can be launched? Or is there some other way to make these scripts executable on the brickman?

I can't say I'm particularly excited to talk at people every time they start his robot, but I suppose it could be a good way to help people discover this functionality.

I believe the README has a section on preparing Python files for execution.
