DPRG Monthly Meeting – Show’n’tell, Swap-meet, Plans for Robie – 2/28/2026

Posted on by

The DPRG will hold its February meeting at the Dallas Makerspace this Saturday Feb 28 at 10AM. There will be a buzzer on the door to admit attendees to the Makerspace. With the holiday season and the club’s annual meeting over, it is now time to start to build robots.

The agenda will be:

  •  Show’n’tell. Bring your robots to exhibit, demo, and talk about. This is great motivation to start this year’s project.
  •  Swap-meet! Bring anything you don’t want that you think someone else might. Be prepared to find stuff you want. This is a good opportunity to do some spring cleaning and concentrate your robot building efforts.
  •  Robie repair/upgrade brainstorming & planning. At the annual meeting it was proposed to start up biweekly in person work meetings to repair and upgrade Robie as a club project. Ideas and help are welcomed by anyone wanting to make him even cooler.

All are welcome to attend the meeting.
