So as already tweeted (@MADdotNET) - the presentation meeting is this Wednesday ( tomorrow ) - May 2nd. :)

Robot Boot Camp

Presentation Meeting: Wednesday, May 2nd

Time to gear up for robotics. Whether you’re just getting started or you’ve been building them for years, come join us while we talk about robot tech using .NET for building robots. We’ll talk about motors, servos, sensors and ways to hack toys to get them to do your bidding :) We’ll be using off-the-shelf components to help you start building your army of robots for world domination… Eat free pizza, drink free soda and learn about pieces and parts that you can use in your own creations. What could be better ?!? We also encourage you to bring your kids to get them excited about robotics and technology.

Bio: Travis is a robotic experiment made from defective parts that went terribly wrong. His positronic brain constantly fails unit tests. He is a mystery wrapped in an enigma sauteed in a conundrum from a parallel universe. Unbelievably a female human was coerced into marrying him and allowed him to reproduce. He spends his free time building evil technology projects and raising four children to follow in his mad scientist ways. If you choose to follow him on twitter, his evil ramblings can be found at @therobotgeek The warranty has definitely expired.

Where: Herzing University Madison ( 5218 East Terrace Drive, Madison ) -- Room #120

When: 5:30 - 6:00: Networking | 6:00 - 8:00: Presentation and Pizza
