[chbot] One Month to ChchRobotics Wed Oct 15th * 6.30pm *

[Richard Jones]

Our next meeting is just one month away and promises to be a landmark. See
http://kiwibots.org for location and directions.

Start time will be 6.30pm, 6.15 setup to allow those who need to get away
the opportunity to come and go.
We have two main topics for this meeting:
Tabletop challenge - Demonstrate a robot that can navigate a science alive
table without falling off.
Lejos - http://lejos.sourceforge.net/ Java Language for Lego Mindstorms. If
you want to know just how much Charles was involved with this and how it
can turn Mindstorms into a seriously programmable platform come along and
find out.

Who knows what else we'll see. Bring along your line followers, Robocup
robots, and anything else that you are working on.

Suggested timetable:
6.15      Doors open for setup.
6.30-7.15 Early Presentations & Tabletop challenge.
7.30-8.30 Lejos presentation by Charles
8.30-9.30 Questions and chat
9.30      Doors locked before alarm goes off
