Workshop July 16/17 location change
by Jeffrey Brace 08 Jul '16

08 Jul '16

Since a lot of our members are going to K-Fest and the turn out looks really low we are moving the location of the workshop from the big room (9032-A) to a smaller "classroom" space in 9010-A. This is the same building where our new museum is located. This is also the same space where we will have Festivus. We will need help to move tables from 9032 to 9010. Please let me know if you have any questions. == Jeff Brace

Welcome to the club, Joseph! I have the complete documentation that came with my Hero 1, however I have yet to begin assembly of mine just yet. As to Evan's suggestion, I believe that my schedule is setting up to be able to attend Saturday of the next workshop, however I am still finalizing that plan. My intent is to work in the VCFed's Hero 1, but I would be bringing along mine and all of the manuals in my possession. -Alexander 'Z' Pierson Sent from my pocket telephone.

Rediscovered this useful application that was written by a friend at Drexel in 1993ish. It search the hard drive for files (by filename, date etc.) very quickly: http://www.macintoshrepository.org/565-find-stuff-1-0-2.

OT - Hero Robot
by Joseph Oprysko 08 Jul '16

08 Jul '16

I just picked up a Hero 1 Robot off ebay. I know it's going to need a LOT of work, as there are missing parts. Would anyone in the group happen to have any manuals for the ET-18 (Hero 1 Robot) around. Preferably the technical guide, or base curriculum that came with the robot? -- Normal Person: Hey, it seems that you know a lot. Geek: To be honest, it's due to all the surfing I do. Normal Person: So you go surfing? Normal Person: But I don't think that has anything to do with knowing a lot... Geek: I think that's wrong on a fundamental level. Normal Person: Huh? Huh? What?
