[chbot] Latest technology, latest meeting

[Mark Atherton]

Hello group,

Bridget McKendry should be along this evening to give the group an 
update on the Makercrate, which is installed near the Pallet 
Pavilion.<http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/business/opensource/8719232/First-of-fab-labs-to-open-for-business>http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/business/opensource/8719232/First-of-fab-labs-to-open-for-business 
-- these should be lots of discussions about 3D printing and progress 
with this project. Maybe even opportunities for our group...

Oscar has also said he may be along with his new flying-machine.

Kick off is 6:30 as usual at Tait Radio Communications, 175 Roydvale 
Ave - easy to get to, and plenty of free parking.

This is a very informal and easy going event, please bring a friend.

When you feel comfortable with the group, bring a project to show off 
or talk about.

It's not all about robots, it's more about meeting people, exchanging 
ideas, and having fun related to Electronics, Controllers, Radio, 3D 
printing, Flying machines, Crawling machines and just about anything 
else in this arena.

Regards,

Mark

PS Interesting video on the way that technology is moving, maybe 
there is a need for 20 of these units in the world
