We had a great meeting today! Seven teams showed up for the Build On The Spot
competition. I guess it was harder than it seemed, but everyone had a robot,
even if they didn't score too consistently.

FOUR teams tied for first place! Great job, everyone!

For next month, we'll be meeting in the same room we were in today. The
mini-challenge we voted on was to build a "Facilities Robot", a very open ended
challenge. The idea is to build a robot that you would see in some large
institution. It can be anything. A mail delivery robot, a floor cleaning robot,
a robot that runs the elevators, a robot that opens doors, a robot that serves
meals, or makes beds (if it was a hospital, for instance), a robot that takes
out the trash, whatever you can think of. Have some fun with this one.

We'll see you on February 23rd.

PS: If someone accidentally left with one of the cubes I built for today's
challenge, could you contact me directly? (Don't forget to remove the spam bot
from the email address.) I'll arrange a time to come pick it up. Thanks!
