When: Wed, March 25th at 7PM West Coast Time
It's March! And you know what that means... it's "Challenge" month! Yep, that's right. YOU have a presentation to give. So, take your robot off the shelf, dust it off, charge it up, finish it, fix it, or improve it. If you're not currently building, start something! We are a builder's club. Our stock in trade is functioning robots. This is our first all Show-and-Tell meeting of the year (we have three: March, June, and September). So, don't be a spectator; build something!
TABLEBot Challenge, FLOORBot Challenge, AI Challenge, A-Mazing LineBot Challenge, RobotArm Challenge, RoboMagellan Trials and Run-What-You-Brung!
