Eddie the plant-watering robot.

What geek doesn’t like robots? Well today we had our inaugural Robotics meeting where we two preexisting robotics groups came to our space and shared their projects. Eddie is the product of the DC/MD/VA Robotics and Automation Meetup Group. The second group was of students who build VEX robots for competition. Background, walk throughs, and demos were presented. In addition a new competition was described and members enlisted to participate. It was the finest robotics meeting this writer has ever attended!
