Great Lukasz,

Your hardware is similar to what we are planning on using.

We have 10:1 Micro Metal Gearmotors (hp),

The motor driver is stand alone, but probably similar to what is on the ardubot board.

Same reflectance array, same wheels (we have encoders as well).

So I suggest we meet Saturady at 2pm at the Science gallery cafe, (it might be a little early to start drinking alcohol).

As a brief plan…

• Introduce ourselfs (probablty the most important)
• Make final decisions on the hardware specifications (power, connectors, processor)
• Try to split up the work amongst us.
• Plan deadlines for getting stages of the project done (Hardware design, Software design, testing/tweeking)
• Talk about possible stategies for the competition
• Team/robot name
• Anything else

This could take an hour or two and maybe a good idea to bring along any hardware you have you think useful, so we can all see it and discuss it.

It might also be possible to get some studio space in the science gallery to work on construction for a while after if we bring our own tools. I'm not sure if this is necessary at this stage, but could be useful in the future also.

Great meeting everyone!
