This months meeting will focused on the mini sumos and the upcoming
contest with the high school scholars. For those of you just starting the
assembly of your boards, expert advice will be available. For those of
you looking for inspiration on motors, wheels, or chassis, expert advice
will be available. If you want help on programming the controller, expert
advice will be available. If you want to try out your mini sumo on the ring,
it will be there. If you want to see what a mini sumo looks like and get a
glimpse of what is involved, come and be enlightened. We will also talk
about logistics of getting to Southridge for the contest on the 23rd.
I would also like some input on getting a traveling trophy ready by
the 23rd with the winners of the first two contests included.
If you have any other desires for the meeting, please let me know.

Mini-Sumo Robot competition, We had a packed crowd at the EMSL Auditorium

Gabriel Guillen/Jim Hendricks/Gordon Anderson PC board and design took first prize.
We had about six viable robots and a lot of interest.

almost-but-not-quite-ready-to-compete MiniSumos. |
