» September 5th, 2010

Attention all members: the Penn State Robotics Club will be having our first official meeting this Wednesday, September 8th, 2010 at 7:30 in Hammond 312.

In this meeting, we will start the first of three tutorial sessions that will introduce members to our basic tutorial-chassis and show everything you need to know to get your robot doing some basic movements. This tutorial will last at most 30 minutes, but club doors will stay open as long as people are working on their robots.

Also note, during this time, returning members may choose instantly dive into their own robots or choose to join the legacy-robot support group which will focus on a walking robot!

See you there!
