Congratulations!! Looks like fun.
I have added you to the development map but I will wait until Todd gives you a
group on LUGNET before I have him copy it over because I will have to make the
link.
Here is the development map:

>
> There will be no fees and no officers.
>
> First meeting:
> 1 Introductions.
> 2 Show and Tell.
> 3 First mini challenge.
>
> The first mini challenge is to build a robot that follows the left edge of a
> (minimum 6") wide black line. No turn will be greater than 90 degrees.
> Don't worry about having a super refined or super fast robot. Remember this
> is to learn, and for discussion. Bring any other robots you wish to show as
> well.
>
> We hope that if you are in the area, and interested in LEGO robots and
> Mindstorms, that you'll be able to make it.

| After the November 6th "Workshop 3D LEGO RCX Challenge" in Seattle, Gus Jansson and I decided it was time to start a LEGO Robot specific group in this area. Well, it's about a month later, and we're through talking, time for some action! So this is (...) (24 years ago, 12-Dec-00, to lugnet.announce, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.us.wa, lugnet.loc.us.wa.sea, lugnet.loc.us.wa.tac, lugnet.org.us.sealug, lugnet.robotics.events, lugnet.technic) !
