ROBOT BUILD PROJECT

 PRESENTER: ROBERT SEALY

DISCUSSION Trying to get ideas for a robot for the group to build.  There is no funding for the robot at the moment, but we need an idea to seek funding from various sources.  May ask members to contribute small amounts of money to get the project off the ground.  There is a company called Parallax that offer robot kits that are available for around $100.00.
There will be separate groups for regular meetings and build meetings for the robot team.  Robert will send out an email asking for ideas about robot build project.  The ideas need to be brought to the next meeting.
