Meeting April 2nd, 1999


PAReX Meeting Notes

The meeting was held in the wind tunnel lab at ASU (room F 120) (See map at http://www.primenet.com/~johnkit/asumap-01.gif) The meeting started around 8 PM with 30 people in attendance.

Bob Pitzer made the introductions and brought us up todate on what is going on with the 501c tax status. Still no change, waiting on paperwork. (Incorporation paperwork is in the works - Mike) Bob gave us a brief recap of the Robot Sumo event he went to in L.A. the previous week.

BotBash was discussed, it looks like there will be between 25-30 combatants. We are still looking for sponsers for the arena. There is a chance that Budweiser and local radio station DJ Larry MacFeelie may be at the event.

Brandon Latek talked about the ASU micro-aerial vehicle project http://www.eas.asu.edu/~mavric ) He is looking for assistance. If you know about R/C aircraft or have automated one, contact him.
