June 3 won't work for me, but April 1 or May 6 might. They meet once a
month (except July & August), and I seem to attend about one meeting in
three, on average. Maybe by April I can actually have something to demo...

Bill & I came up with this plan: meet at the Barnes & Noble in Waterbury
around noon on Sunday. If that doesn't work for you, we can probably come
up with a different plan.

I may or may not go, this weekend is a busy one for me.  Distance wise I
might as well go on my own.  My kids are interested robotics especially my
daughter and I mentioned it to her and she was interested in going.   How
are they about walk ins?

totally fine with walk-ins. very informal group, usually at least one young
person there with a parent. attendance varies, but around a dozen people is
typical, i'd guess. a lot of pictures & minutes from past meetings on the
website, if you haven't checked that out yet.

let me know if you need help with directions (somewhere on the website i
saw mention of U. of Hartford, but meetings have actually been at GHAMAS
for a while now).

Andrew,

I saw the U of Hartford directions,  I will check the site again but If you
have directions that would be great.

Subject: Re: [CTHackerspace] Fwd: CT Robotics Society

when I put "21 Vernon St. Hartford CT" into Google Maps, it takes me to the
right place. I would think 44 into Hartford is the obvious choice from
Winsted/Winchester. GHAMAS is right near Trinity College -- in case you've
ever been there. (Trinity holds an annual Firefighting Home Robot Contest
every April; I finally made it to last year's event, it was fun.)

http://www.trincoll.edu/events/robot/

GHAMAS has a parking lot that opens to Vernon St. As you enter the lot from
Vernon St., you will be facing a field, with a building on your right &
another on your left. The one on your left is where the CRS meets; there
should be signs pointing the way. Unfortunately that lot is occasionally
full; I sometimes have to park on the opposite side of the aforementioned
field (around the block, off Brownwell Ave.).

I haven't come all the way to downtown Hartford on 44, but you can turn
right  on N. Main St., then left on Park St., & you can get on 84 East from
there. I take exit 48 for Capitol Ave.; it curves to the right & ends at
Capitol Ave. Turn left on Capitol, then right on Washington. Follow
Washington for a ways, Vernon St. will be a right turn. Then the parking
lot is on the left.

It looks like you could also avoid the highway, just stay on Park until it
meets Washington; turn right, then right again on Vernon after a few blocks
along Washington.

Hope that's helpful, & hope to see you there. They meet monthly, except for
July & August, so if this Sunday doesn't work you'll have another chance.

these meeting minutes say "Traver gave us a Scribbler robot demo":
http://www.ctrobots.org/minutes/2006/mar06.html ... that should read Trevor
(my son). Here's what he looked like back then:
http://www.ctrobots.org/pics/2006/mar06-14.JPG ... I haven't changed, of
course, but Trev's a lot bigger now ;-)

Andrew,

Thanks for the directions.  I am afraid I got the day wrong for the CRS,  I
thought it was today, but of course it is Sun.  My daughter is pretty
interested in going to the CRS meetings and we will do it next meeting that
works.   Thanks for the links to the ctrobots, I think it is a great thing
to do with kids.  The Scribbler robot looked really interesting but never
tried one.

Was reading the minutes and the intro was about going to the MIT flea and
museum and that looked like something good to do also.
