Meeting Notes
Meeting 1 (12/17/08@1900): General Interest
Well the first meeting went kind of as expected small turn out with a lot of ideas being thrown around. we have decided to walk before we run by making a small (<12 lb.) bot to start off with. thanks to generous donations from Rick of Huntsville Computer we have the basic frame of our first small bot. it consists of 2 Generic 12 volt drill motors with 4" wheels, 2 victor 883 speed controllers and a futaba controller and receiver on a aluminum plate.
Meeting 2 (1/9/09@2000): Design Brainstorming
Please have some ideas drawn up and, if you have time, have some sort of prototype or proof of concept ready for this meeting.
