Hi all,
 on Oct 15th I had the pleasure of hosting another robot group at my 
place in Woburn MA.  This is the second time I've hosted and it keeps on 
going.

Greg Kulosa came by and showed off his LEGO/6.270 based machine which 
drove around smartly rebounding off walls.  He has a nice, low center of 
gravity design.

I had my LEGO/6.270 based machine out too and it did similar acrobatics 
by using reflective IR sensing to see the walls (sometimes ;))

I try and host this once a month or so, which makes the next one probably 
the weekend before thanksgiving.  After that the Holidays kick in and we 
may not meet until Jan of '95.  I'll post exact date/time and directions 
about 2 weeks before the next meeting.  

Hope to see yo  u there!

-John C.
