About Our Meetings
Meetings are held
on the last Wednesday of the month from January through November. There
is no December meeting. Anyone interested in or curious about robotics
is welcome to attend our meetings.
Our meetings are relaxed and informal. We try to have a featured speaker
and presentation at every meeting. The current year's presentation
schedule is listed below. In addition to the regular meeting
presentation, we run club robotic contests, have special interest group
workshops and enjoy sharing our robotic creations and building
techniques.
