Chibots

 An Android controlled robot designed to compete in RoboMagellan.

Aug. 1 2012 update: From our esteemed VP: "A gentle reminder:  $10.00 entry fee for non-members. $20.00 will buy you or your team a club membership, which means
competition entry fees for the year are waived. We were late soliciting 2012 memberships until we resolved our banking issues.  Now we can say:  Make checks out to ChiBots."

Do you know a young lady between the ages of 12 and 16 who is interested in science, engineering or technology? If so, this workshop is the perfect event to help her along in learning and meeting other young ladies that share her passion.

Latest info from John R.:

The District 48 Family Science Night is at Albright Middle School, 1110 Villa Avenue, Villa Park.  [This is near Rte. 83 and Roosevelt Road - Villa Ave. is 1/4 mile west of Rte. 83.]

This text provides a few notes on the management and organization of the ESC/Sensors Expo event that takes place approximately half ways through the year. This event is usually held at the Rosemont Donald E. Stephens Convention Center. This event provides vendors that manufacture and commercialize electronic sensors a venue for electronic design engineers who are looking for solution within this field.

Attached are the Competition Table survey results. We will discuss these at the 3/11/12 meeting.
