**

Final reminder of tomorrow night's meeting on Raspberry Pi hacks from 
the authors of the new O'Reily book by the same name.  It is not too 
late to register for the meeting today, but remember you are still 
invited to attend even if not registered.  As always, our meeting are 
open to everyone.


I have also included advanced notice of the January and February 
meetings - they are also open for registration now.  In addition to the 
meetings, we will also be having our wall following and line following 
contests each month, so it is not too late to put together a robot and 
join us.  I am still looking for a presenter for the March meeting, so 
let me know if you wish to present or have an idea for a presentation.

*Raspberry Pi Hacks***

Monday December 2^nd ,2013 7:00-8:30  arrive early for networking and food

Tom Callaway and Ruth Suehle, authors of Raspberry Pi Hacks (O’Reilly, 
December 2013) will share hints and tips for brave hackers ready to 
bring their ideas to life with the Raspberry Pi. They’ll start with the 
important basics of doing tricks with your Pi and go on to talk about a 
few fun projects, from game emulators to cameras in the sky. This talk 
is fun for both experienced builders and novices, so feel free to bring 
along kids, friends, neighbours, and anyone else you think might like to 
get started building with the Pi.

  January 2014 meeting


  DARPA Grand Challenge Autonomous Vehicle Design and Group Project
  Discussion

Mr. Randall led the Insight Racing team in the DARPA (Defense Advanced 
Research Projects Agency) Grand Challenge series of races. Insight 
Racing’s last entry was a computer driven Lotus Elise which was 
developed in conjunction with NC State University. The Elise would drive 
through city traffic without remote control or any human intervention 
whatsoever. Mr. Randall will discuss how the team was put together and 
review the architecture of the autonomous vehicle. www.insightracing.org 
<http://www.insightracing.org>

Mr. Randall also wants to discuss a group project to develop a life-like 
humanoid robot that can interact with a natural language interface. Many 
aspects of this projects will be described and discussed. He is looking 
for participation from the chapter members.

  February 2014 meeting


  Legos, Robotics, Maker Bots and kids - oh my!

Sometimes it is difficult to look back to that defining point in our 
lives where we chose our profession, or area of major interest in our 
life. Even as adults, it is often a daunting task to sort through all 
the options - imagine (and try to remember) the confusion of making 
those decisions as a child.

Now imagine the difficulty of making that decision when your options are 
limited. In this month's meeting we will hear about the challenges and 
successes of a teacher in a small community with over half the children 
living in poverty. Kristin Bedell will talk about her program, her 
challenges, future directions, and how perhaps we can help her with the 
future generation of engineers.
