July Robot Building…

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…

July Meetings Notes…

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.
