| Welcome
to the Connecticut Robotics Society! |
Attention: The June meeting is cancelled due to a traffic clogging event that is going to be held this Sunday
at the place where we hold the meetings. Our next meeting will be held in September. Watch for an e-mail with
details.
"CRS" is an informal group of hobbyists, experimenters, and
robot builders who meet monthly at GHAMAS (a.k.a. The Learning Corridor) in Hartford, Connecticut.
We welcome everyone, no matter where they are from. The CRS is absolutely NOT limited to people
from Connecticut.
Our membership is a diverse group composed of people with many
different backgrounds and experience levels. Our interests
include, but are not limited to, electronics,
mechanics, fun, and the science related to automation and
homebuilt robotics.
The Connecticut Robotics Society is modifying its meetings to better
address the wishes and needs of the members to make the meetings more
"hands-on" and to help people grow in their skills and abilities.
The meetings will now start at 11AM and have a 3 hour session where
members can work on their own project that they brought with them.
GHAMAS equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, soldering irons,
etc. will be available, if they need them. There will also be other CRS
members there to help out with advice and sympathy. People can also work on
various other projects involving equipment already at GHAMAS such as
speech synthesizers, LCD displays and stepper motors. At 2PM, we
will stop working on projects and begin the more traditional part of
our meeting which will include members explaining what they
accomplished during the work session and what problems they are still
having. We will still have the "equipment give-aways" and the chance
for everyone to share their thoughts. See the Agenda page under Meetings
for more details.
Note to Parents: The goal of the project work session is to enable
people to work on their own projects. While the CRS is still a
completely open organization with no membership restrictions as to
age or ability, if your child is not capable of independent,
unsupervised work then it might be best for them to come from 2PM to 4PM
to see what others have done and what they will be able to do once
they have achieved the necessary knowledge and skills.
The CRS meets from September
through June on the second Sunday of the month at 11AM. The next scheduled meeting is
September 14, 2008...for driving directions, click here
. A complete schedule of meetings for the year
can be found on the Meetings
page. Anyone is encouraged to attend and don't forget to bring
your favorite new toy or your latest project!
