I attended the monthly meeting of DARC - Denver Area Robot Club - this past Saturday.
The meeting was well attended - there were more people than average. A lot of people came to see the special demo of the local FIRST robot. Built and run by a local high school team. The high schoolers did the real work - the teacher really kept to his advisor role, letting the kids do the work. And they took 3rd place!
The FIRST robot was quite impressive. It was rather peppy. It was very interesting to hear about the robot and the adventure involved with building and running it. 2 of the core of the high schoolers came to demo the robot along with their teacher/advisor.
Also Kerwin showed off his boat-bot to be, and the modifications his Mars rover has been given.
A pneumatic walking robot, under prototype, was shown. Some very nice work going on there.
