Fall 2010: Back to school

R@M is off to a busy start of the semester, with several events occurring in the next six weeks:

  •  Maryland Robotics Day (Sept. 10), when students and researchers show off their robotics work. You'll find R@M in A.V. Williams building room 2158 and in the courtyard at the Computer Science Instructional Center.
  • First Look Fair (Sept. 15-16), the annual student organization fair, will be held on McKeldin Mall on Sept. 15 and 16 at 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. R@M will have all of its robots on display.
  • R@M information sessions will introduce new and prospective members to the club shortly after the First Look Fair. Watch this space and the announcement/AGV mailing lists for details.
  • UMD's third  Autonomous Robot Speedway Competition is set for Oct. 16. R@M will be entering an improved version of the Raphael autonomous vehicle in the competition, and we hope to enter a new, faster vehicle, too.

Meeting Schedule

We have chosen initial meeting schedules for both teams. R@M will be following these schedules through the First Look Fair, after which we might make adjustments.

  • Ground vehicle team: Monday at 5, Wednesday at 5
  • Underwater vehicle team: Tuesday at 6:30, Thursday at 6:30
