Special event at this Saturday 8/22 DPRG monthly meeting

Our scheduled tech talk speaker had to reschedule at the last minute, so we’re pivoting to something a little different (and a lot of fun) for this weekend's meeting.

Forgive me if the details are vague, that is intentional!

I'm calling this event, DPRG's 1st "Hack-a-bot Challenge"

The concept is simple. You'll split into teams, be given a goal, work together on the project, and then after a couple hours work and some pizza, we will test your creations in a death defying contest (for the bot!)

The only heads up I can give is that soldering will probably be required (bring one if you can, we will have a couple on hand otherwise), construction with cardboard, hotglue and duct tape a strong possibility. Microcontrollers will be optional, and 3v will be all the juice your franken-bot gets.

We will live stream as usual for our remote members so that they can enjoy the mayhem. Deets at dprg.org

We will hold the DPRG's monthly meeting at 10am on this Saturday 7/25 at the Dallas Makerspace, 1825 Monetary Lane #104, Carrollton.

We will have a show'n'tell and robot parts swap meeting. Word is that Robie the 7-foot tall club mascot robot will make an appearance and show off the wizz-bang things Mark and Mark and Mike have done to him.

The annual celebration of man's landing on the moon happens tomorrow at the Frontiers of Flight Museum, near Love Field in Dallas. The DPRG will have a booth there, manned by club members as usual, and in addition we will be hosting Karim's Iron Reign team and Trish's Vex Robotics team.

Please feel welcome to come down and visit us, and see the rest of what's going on down there - they always have a ton of science & technology exhibitors.
