This is a friendly reminder that the DPRG meeting is this
Saturday, Feb 8th.

February 8th tentative meeting agenda:

        12:00pm Arrive
        - Robotics Chat
        12:15pm Show-n-tell robots
        12:30pm Watch Videos
        1:00pm DPRG business and such
        1:30pm Robotics Chat

Some issues we'll want to discuss:

        Edit/Vote on the proposed mission statement:
                - To bring together robotics enthusiasts for the discussion of 
                personal robotics which includes sharing of hardware and 
                software ideas.
                - To provide an avenue to meet minimum purchase requirements 
                and get volume discounts via group purchases of equipment and 
                supplies.
                - To encourage the development of robotics through the building
                of robots, having robotic contests, and other means.
                - To educate one another in the technical aspects of robotics 
                development.

        DPRG not-for-profit status:
                Shouldn't we just go ahead and do it?

        Another DPRG Contest:
		We've had a lot of interest in the contest.
		I've got at least one and hopefully two robots
		I want to enter.  There seems to be some others
		that will try.  There'll be prizes and more.  This
		contest will be in May with trial runs in April,
		(maybe trial runs this month too if we have anyone
		ready.)

	DPRG T-Shirts
		I'm hoping the T-Shirt guy will be finished making
		them by the upcoming meeting.  Bring your money if
		you want one.

	Wheel Chair
		Roger received the electric wheel chair from the
		guy in New Jersey, and maybe we can see it and discuss
		what we wanna do with it.
