Introducing Hands-On Meetings!
Hands-on meetings are coming, starting on Oct 23. The usual place and time. Some of us will bring some partial robots or other widgets from our workshops and if you acquire a robot or robot kit before and want help building it or debugging it, bring it along. It will be a two hour meeting, without an agenda!
