HomeBrew Robotics Club

It’s March! And you know what that means… it’s “Challenge” month! Yep, that’s right. YOU have a presentation to give. So, take your robot off the shelf, dust it off, charge it up, finish it, fix it, or improve it. If you’re not currently building, start something! We are a builder’s club. Our stock in trade is functioning robots. This is our first all Show-and-Tell meeting of the year (we have three: March, June, and August). So, don’t be a spectator; build something!

Robot Dance Party…

A Jam Session… robots just want to have fun! This is an open event where we will play STYX “Mr. Roboto” and robots that feel the need to move to the groove are invited to do so.
