There are 2 meetings per month. Every 2nd Saturday, we have the official meeting with a class, business meeting and Show & Tell. All the meeting minutes posted on this website report on the activities during those meetings.  The 4th Saturday is an informal meeting for members that are working on a robot and want to bring in their project to work on it together with fellow club members.

Normally  I am not able to attend the 4th Saturday meeting but this day we got a special guest lecture: Hanno Sander from Hannoware in New Zealand made a little detour from his trip to SoCal and talked about his work on the several Parallax development tools he developed. Read all about it in this special report.

John Walter showed us the scanning range sensor on his Hallway competition robot:

Don Fears showed us the budget robot he built for his neighbor kids:

Paul Ashley showed us a self-balancing 2 wheeled robot base made from VEX parts:

We also explored the park area next to the Engineering building we will be using for RoboMagellan contests:
