On June 15 DPRG held a Power Lunch at the Derbyshire pub in Frisco. The event was attended by about a dozen DPRG robot-heads. There was good beer, and good English food, and lots of talk about robots and AI.
DPRG holds a Power Lunch about once a quarter. Make sure that when the next one is scheduled that you plan to attend. They are fun and provide a lot of person-on-person conversations. Watch the website and the Discord channel for details of the next event.

DPRG held its 29th Roborama competition on May 24, 2025. The competition was brisk, with several outstanding performances. A new club record was set in Four Corners by Scott Gibson who had a “start to end” difference of 0 inches. In the past, several competitors have had “start to end” distances of less than 1/2-inch, but this is the club’s first zero distance. Scott also dominated in the mini-Sumo contest. A new contest, Barrel Racing, was successfully run.
A description of the competition can be found at https://www.dprg.org/roborama-2025/ .

On April 26, 2025, as part of Dallas Maker Space’s open house DPRG demonstrated robots. It was also the return of “Big Robie”, DPRG’s 10-foot mascot robot, after a total refurbishment by a team of club members. The exhibit was well attended by visitors, and everyone had a good time.
