It looks like we will start moving to the Google Group for meeting announcements, and such because of email issues.

The time and date for the next meeting is still to be determined, our goal for now is to get a location and start planning for a summer of robot building and a fall robot competition.

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.

Email me for directions at: info@columbusrobotics.org.

Thanks,

Scott
