April Philly Robotics Group Meetup

It’s almost time for robots again!

Come join us for the April Philadelphia Robotics Group Meetup. We’ll be having our normal robotics discussion/showing, and member Nelson Brown will demo an AVR-based video game.

Info: April 8th, starting at 7:30.

March Madness!

Today March Madness kicked off.

No, it wasn’t a retail store sale or anything like that. March Madness is a programming challenge issued to all hackerspaces by our favorite New Jersey hackerspace, FUBARLabs. The challenge is to write a complete, working program, everyday throughout March.

More info can be found about March Madness at the FUBARLabs website: http://fubarlabs.com/2010/02/march-madness-challenge/

Let the madness begin!

Philadelphia Robotics Meetup – Postponed

UPDATE: This has been postponed. We will update when it’s rescheduled.

Join us for the first Philadelphia Robotics Meetup Group of 2010!

This month’s meetup will feature a “spinning cube” demo of my complementary filter based Inertial Measurement Unit code for our Quadrotor controller board (that will make more sense when you see it) and Xbee-based wireless communication between the controller board and a laptop. Also, Foster Schucker of STEM Robotics will demo some VEX robots.

When: January 14th, 2010 at 7:30 PM

PLUG Into Hive76 == Success!

Our first official PLUG Into Hive76 was a great success last Thursday! We talked about ideas (including netchacing), Adam Grossman did a mini presentation on the 3D vision project, Elizabeth Krumbach donated a new tome to our library, and then we ate cake. Thanks to everybody who showed up!
