Well, nobody else has made any suggestions about the mission statement,
so I thought I'd go ahead and offer a new version myself. Mostly, it's
just a re-wording of what Jim has already said. Feel free to tear into
it and use any, all, or none of it...
How about this:
To provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and information
among amateurs, professionals, and academics interested in
robotics and related technologies by holding regular meetings.
To assist members in the design and construction of robots
through volume discounts on purchases, advice, and access to
test equipment and tools not available to most individuals.
To encourage the awareness and acceptance of robotics in the
general public through the collection and dessemination of
information, public demonstrations, and the holding of
contests that showcase the abilities and uses of robots.
