The space will be [cautiously] open this afternoon from 5:30pm

[Gav]

Hi All, 

As you might have seen, we're coming back! We've got a covid plan, printed the QR codes and restrictions have eased. 

It's time to [very cautiously] rumble [to the maximum extent we responsibly should]!

Make sure you wear a face mask and bring proof of vaccination to show when you check in, and remember to stay home and get tested if you are sick or have symptoms.

Cheers,

Gavin

Hi,

Thanks Gav, I aim to go to the robo Dino club meeting place soon today maybe around 1.45pm ish just to find out where it is. 

I can't make the 5pm meeting today. I may be able to make the meeting on this Saturday the 23rd of October at 11am.

How long are meetings at the club? Several hours or longer? Or as long as necessary.

Regards,

Tom

Hey Tom,

It seems you went to the wrong place. The makerspace is here, on the first floor, a few minutes walk from the Meadowbank train station.

Unit 10/27 Bank St, Meadowbank NSW 2114

We don't really host meetings. It's more of a space for tinkering. If it's your first time we can show you the tools, but then it's up to you what to do next. Often we discuss each other's projects, but it's very informal.

Cheers!

Tomasz

Hi there,

Is it still possible to access the space outside of Tuesday and Saturday hours, like pre-covid, and if yes, how can we show a proof of vaccination? 

Thanks

Hi Sabrina, 

No problem. Any keyholders can use the space as usual now. There's a QR code on the door, please check in. 

Cheers,

Gaivn

Hi Gav and other members of the robo Dino club,

I aim to go to the club makerspace on the weekend on Saturday morning on the 20th of October. 

I can probably catch the bus to meadowbank train station eventually and make my own way there eventually on the bus.

I can apply for the starving student membership I guess. I aim to study a certificate 3 in IT with a focus on computer programming next year at tafe online part time.

I have been practicing computer programming using some apps on my mobile smartphone in my spare time during lockdown. 

My brother works professionally as a computer programmer he drove me to the robo Dino club today and I saw the three guys from the Sydney robotics club today at the robo Dino club makerspace.

Both my father and brother are qualified engineers and my mother worked in IT for most of her life as a technical writer and computer programmer.

I may study at TAFE for higher level IT courses perhaps part time or full time after the cert 3 in IT but I can see how I go with the cert 3 part time at tafe. 

I have been able to complete a certificate 2 in horticulture at TAFE. I used to work doing garden maintenance and nursery work. 

Hasquana a maker of gardening equipment I saw had an advertisement for new robot lawnmowers I saw on the TV recently. That company is meant to make quiet leaf blowers too. 

I have a few ideas for improved gardening equipment from working as a gardener/horticulturalist for several years. I could possibly work on them at the makerspace or just discuss them perhaps.

Anyway I guess I can try to meetup on Saturday morning on the 20th of October. I aim to possibly bring my robot I made from a kit and maybe arduino electronics starter kit. 

I used to be an informal member of MURC the macquarie uni robotics club but was let out of the club as I was not a university student.

Anyway at MURC they brought in old radio control cars. Ripped them apart and took the controllers and motors and salvaged other usable parts to be used in robots to be built by the club. I am unsure whether the robo Dino club is into doing that.

I guess I can meet up with club members on Saturday morning on the 20th of October. Also how many members of the club are planning to meetup or usually meetup on Saturdays at the club?. 

I also would like to know what happens with club general meetings and when they are I did not read much of the information that one of the other club members wrote before regarding meetings etc. I can refer back to it later perhaps in the email thread.

Regards,

Tom

Hi,

I was unable to make it this weekend. I can wait until next weekend most likely I will be there then after 11am on Saturday. 

Sorry I sent that email before. I was unable to organise transport to the club this weekend.

Regards,

Tom
