[chbot] Robotics Group meeting, 5 Idris Rd, 630pm, Mon 16 June 2025 report

[Andrew Errington]

I texted "Test" to 550 at the meeting and got a report. I just sent "3G"
and got the same report. I couldn't send an empty message, and I couldn't
send a single space, but I sent a single full stop and also got the same
report.

YMMV,

Andrew
