Geda-users might be interested in viewing the robotics competition held at Trinity College in Hartford, CT (USA). It's an annual event; this year it takes place on April 8th. Here's a link to the announcement:
http://www.trincoll.edu/events/robot/welcome.asp Attendees at March's Free Dog meeting expressed interest in checking this out. One of our number will have his robot in the competition! Personally, I visited the competition (as a spectator, not as a participant) several years ago. It's a lot of fun watching robots try to put out a fire. They usually get confused and end up fruitlessly bouncing off of walls while the fire burns away. ;-) I plan on going, and may hand out gEDA Install CDs to interested participants. Interested persons can contact me at sdb (AT) cloud9 (DOT) net for more info, or to discuss traveling together or meeting there. Stuart
