February Meetup
by adam on Feb.17, 2009, under HRGeeks Meeting, robots
Here’s a taste of what you missed if you weren’t at the meetup last week! Brian brought the robot he is entering into the BattleBots contest in California, and gave us a quick (it was freezing out) parking lot demo of the thing in action. Everything on the chassis (except the motors, I think) is custom built by Brian and his classmate, even the dual-motor gear box. Very impressive!
Good luck with the contest Brian – we’d love to see it again with the end effector in place

(It’s dark because it was about 10:30PM at night in the mall parking lot. Sorry – better video next time!)

Welcome to HR Geeks!
We're a group of (mostly) Hampton Roads based technology enthuisiasts. Our members take part of many different groups, from 757 Labs to TWUUG to sitting at home watching TV.
Our goal with HRGeeks.com is to be a sort of 'clearing house' of all technology related goings-on in Hampton Roads, as well as a home for collaboration and discussion between area geeks.
