PAReX Meeting Notes

BotBash 2000 Discussion was tabled, since Bob Pitzer was absent.

A volunteer sheet was passed around for the Hamilton High event. Mike R. has the sheet.

Status of membership pool on the webpage was discussed: we need more people in it. Please email the web administrator if you have knowledge or skills you are willing to share with the club!

501(c)3 paper work has been submitted. Should be done in a few weeks.

Steve and Bob volunteered to arrange monthly 'tech talks' at the meetings. These will be presentations on specialized topics for the members of the club. Should be good. If you have a subject you would like to present, please contact Steve Kimball with details.

We now have the 'parex.org' domain name registered. Should be up in a few weeks.

Andy Michalicek gave a very good, informative talk about the FIRST competition. He is a mentor for the Brophy/Xavier high school team, which got a grant from NASA and has already received their 140 pound box of parts. The deadline for their robot to be done is February 25th. They are competing in the regional competition being held in San Jose, CA.

BotBash Video is Here! The Bot Bash '99 tape was shown. Everyone wants one now. Club members can get them for $5.00 at the meetings, $7.50 through the mail; The general public price is $15.00
