We are going to have a single meeting for November and December. It will be Saturday, December 1st, at 12:00pm.
We are going to have cookies and plenty of robots. I will be testing my robot Feynman-Jr and teaching it to walk down the sidewalk in front of the house. Bring your robot or your ideas to the event.

Thanks,
Scott

We will not have a formal meeting this time, rather just a brief introduction, then we break into talks and informal discussion groups. Some topics will be:
1. Robot Building
2. Artificial Intelligence
3. Competitions, News and Trends
4. General Discussion about programming and engineering.
5. Organization / Website / Future Events / Etc.
I would like to use these discussions to share ideas and help each other with our projects.
I will also be holding another Robot-Building Event at 12PM, Saturday, October 27th.
Thanks,
Scott

No pictures but, Bruce started building his EBay Robot, Scott worked on Feynman Jr., Carlo helped out Bruce & Scott, Larry brought one of his Budget Robotics projects and some sensors and Peter evangelized the virtues of C over Java, C# or any of these new fangled languages…

Our July meeting was very cool. Carlo told us about ProgramD, a chat bot implementation of A.L.I.C.E.
Scott ran out of time but was able to show a few cool things with his robot Carnot, including some text-to-speech, serial-http bridging and motor control using the Serial Servo Controller.
We also started to have a bot building event during the last Saturday of the month.
