Technical Meeting: Thursday May 12th
Our May meeting is scheduled to be information about a new robotics league starting up in Rochester. Rochester Tabletop Robotics League is a "tabletop" robotics, all the robots should therefore be small and relatively inexpensive. Peter Shabino will describe this league and even demo a quick and easy robot he built from a $9.99 Walmart remote controlled car. See his website.

Upcoming Meeting Crisis!
