To better figure out what the club can do to help people build robots,
I would like to ask everyone here a few questions:
* Why aren't you building a robot?
- I am, its just progressing at a glacial pace. Other household projects always
seem to pop up.
* Why aren't you making any progress on your robot?
- Lack of time I suppose.
* If you are making progress on your robot, why haven't you told the
rest of us about it?
- If I make progress I would tell the group about it.
* What can the club do to make building a robot more enjoyable for you?
- A few years back we had some really interesting speakers at meetings
talking about new developments in robotics. i.e. The guy with the robot head
and his frubber.
- Maybe put together or recommend a kit for newbies to use or for people
that are more interested in the electrical and programming end rather than
the mechanical.
- Maybe have teams for competitions where one person on the team handles
the mechanical, one the electrical and one the programming for the more
complicated competitions or a combo thereof. i.e. Can Can or Magellan.
Have a signup page for people that want to be in a team.
- Add a forum or Wiki to the web site to aid in collaboration. Yes
we can do that via the mailing list but its more awkward. There are some
great free Wikis out there like DekiWiki, TikiWiki and MediaWiki.
Just a few thoughts
thanks,
Glenn
