Monthly Meetings

If you are building a robot or just planning one, come down and meet the gang. We are on an exciting journey and welcome you to join us at a monthly meeting.

The Seattle Robotics Society has had a meeting every month since 1982. It is pretty safe to assume that the meeting will happen. The location might change, but we will post a notice of that here on this web page.

The Seattle Robotics Society meets on the third Saturday of each month. Our meeting are held at Renton Technical College, room K-201. The meetings start at 10am and typically run until 12 noon. Depending on the interest level (and the weather!) we might hold an afternoon session from around 1:30 until 3pm. To determine if there is going to be an afternoon session, contact the current meeting coordinator by sending email to meetings.

The meetings are pretty informal. They are mostly show-and-tell style, and we typically have a guest speaker share his/her experience on a robotics-related topic. (The SRS home page shows information on upcoming presentations, and the meeting presentations page shows a summary of past presentations.) Many members bring in their current projects, interesting new technologies, and great questions to ask the group. The meetings are open to anyone who would like to attend.

After the meeting, we typically have an informal post-meeting lunch. This is just a time to get together, visit, and chat about robots or whatever. The lunch meeting place will be announced (with directions) during the meeting.

Each meeting is an informal "swap meet" where you can bring things you don't need anymore, but be sure to take back home anything that doesn't leave with someone else.

Monday Night Chat

The Seattle Robotics Society hosts a "Monday Night Chat" each week.

Starting at 7pm Pacific Daylight Time each Monday, the SRS holds an informal chat session. This is a great opportunity to come ask live questions of the SRS members, seek help for technical problems, or just chat about stuff.

Details for joining the chat are on the Contact Us page.
