Introduction

Hi, I have been building hobby robots for a couple of years, and I am looking for a group of robot enthusiasts close to Nashville to meet with, exchange ideas, participate in contests etc.

What steve ghertner is saying about this Meetup Group

I always learn something at these meetings; this is a very creative group.

    "Buzz Bot" Build (Previously Bristle Bot) Pictures/Video Posted

    "I uploaded a picture to the photo album and here is the YouTube link: http://www.youtube.co... I think I need to go with a smaller diameter wire for the "bumper"; the 12 gauge adds a lot of weight for this little motor."
