Trinity may be done, but the club isn’t finished for the semester yet! Remember the meeting today – we have some unfinished business to take care of. Topics will include the Freescale Cup, updating the wiki, and a possible social event near finals.

Freescale Cup kits are now ready to order! If you’re interested, the Freescale page on the wiki will be under construction, and all the links you’ll need will be there. I’ll also edit this post with a link to the page when I have some information up.

» Next Meeting
» February 2nd, 2012

Hey guys,

Our next extra meeting will be this Sunday, Feb. 5. It will be a repeat of yesterday’s (Wednesday’s) tutorial on sensors and wall following. Our next regular meeting is on Wednesday, Feb. 15. On that tutorial, we’ll get more in-depth with the programming of the Arduino, the logic behind the protoshield, soldering (if people are interested), and finalizing groups for the Trinity competition. After this tutorial, club meetings will involve free work on your robots until the competition. Remember that there is also the Freescale cup, if you would like to work toward that competition rather than the Trinity Firefighting Competition.

In other news, the phishing issue with our website has been resolved. Thanks to the guys over at DreamHost, who have stellar customer support!

» First Meeting
» January 19th, 2012

Thanks to everyone who showed up to the Spring 2012 Open House! We had a great turnout and some good discussion about what we’ll be doing this semester.

If you missed it, don’t worry! Our first meeting is next week, Wednesday the 25th. We’ll be going over the basics of how to get your robot moving. Alternatively, if you’ve already done all the tutorials in the past, you can get working on a robot for one of the competitions later in the spring. Hope to see you there!
