Last Saturday we had a special edition of our weekly meet up. We asked our members to bring some of their robotic creations, and that was totally awesome. I’m proud to say that WCRS we have skilled and creative robot builders.  We are looking forward to challenge our robot builders in our next annual RobotGames .

Thanks everyone who made the show and tell event a success.

Botone, Created by Terry, was driving around nicely, using an Arduino, a ping sensor & 3 servos

Kids are so quick learners, and Lego Minstorm is perfect to get started

Dave is telling how his BEAM walker robot is working

there was a lot of action and projects of all kinds on display

Curious to see how we use all that new space ?
We are using it every Saturday morning, as we host a buildfest/meetup where WCRS members and guests can meet and have discussions.
Not only that,  we are introducing new enthusiasts  to robotics as well.  This includes, for example- soldering lessons, Lego Mindstorm  programming/debugging, and discussions about new components and technology available on the market for hobbyist robot builders.
We are proud of the recent meetup we had.  It was busy and fun, and a lot of skills and knowledge were shared between members and newcomers.

Come and Join us!

New work area now available!

This the new work space we built and design, at the Aerospace Museum. (Map) .

The main feature is the the professional type work bench with shelves.   We reorganized our society area by opening it up totally.  We are now fully integrated with the Aerospace Museum.

We also received, from the Aerospace Museum,  a nice brand new display case, waiting to have something in it.

Everybody has totally enjoyed the new space so far,  it is so comfortable, functional and convenient.

Come and have a look yourself;  we meet there every Saturday morning from 10am to 12 pm.

Thanks to everyone who helped to complete the project !
