Subject: NE Robotics Expo-Information for Exhibitors

Good morning,

This Saturday, February 21, 2015 the Nebraska Robotics Expo will be held at the Strategic Air and Space Museum in Ashland, NE (I-80 W, Exit 426). This year's event will begin at 8:00am, with opening ceremonies  at 8:30am, followed by competition activities from 9:00am to 5:00pm.  Exhibitors are invited to display from 9:00am to 4:00pm and are welcome to set up the day before on Friday, Feb. 20th at the museum, between 11:00am and 5:00pm, or you may begin setting up the morning of the event beginning at 7:30am.

Exhibitors will have tables along the Mezzanine overlooking Hangar A. Look for the sheet of paper on the table with your organization's name on it. Plastic tablecloths are provided, but you may wish to bring your own. There is access to power along the mezzanine; however, there are a very limited number of extension cords at the museum, so please bring your own extension cords and/or power strips for the day. 

Exhibitors will not need a VIP pass. The front desk at the museum will have a list of which organizations will be exhibiting, so just let them know you are an exhibitor when you come to set-up. I will be there Friday and early Saturday to help direct exhibitors as well. Parking will fill up fast so you may wish to get there as close to 7:30am as possible. 

Lunch options include a $6 lunch from We'll Smoke You BBQ, served in the Restoration Hangar, as well as the Plane Food restaurant and satellite stations. Please bring cash. 

Please forward to others in your organization who will be exhibiting but are not on this contact email list. 

Thank you!

I'll be there. Are we meeting at the space first, or driving separately, and what time do we plan to be there?

I was thinking we should meet at the space first, to load up. And folks are welcome to ride with me. 

We need to leave OMG by 7:30. I'll be there between 7 and 7:15. 

Thanks!

Sounds good. I'll be there around the same time.

Hello gents and ladies,

I used a DC regulator circuit on the Bike Powered generator that
I brought to the Mini Maker Faire last year.
I've been looking for one that I could build that would have a higher
power output.
This is the circuit that I used last year. The hand drawn one that
uses a Darlington Pair transistor.
http://www.reuk.co.uk/LM317-High-Current-Voltage-Regulator.htm

They also show one that uses 2N3055 transistors, but




and I've found one that worked

[Patrick Joseph]

Sorry about the incomplete message from earlier.

They also show one that uses 2N3055 transistors, but I couldn't get it to work with the DoCircuit simulator.
http://www.reuk.co.uk/LM317-Adjustable-Power-Supply.htm

The circuit that I used last year works fine in the simulator.
Could someone look over the 2N3055 circuit to see if there any flaws.  I have the parts but I haven't put it together yet.

Thanks.
