[Robotgroup] Local kids and robots

[Betty]

I talked to Tim Rueger at August's Sumobot tournament (which happened when
the line-following event didn't get enough entries, I think). He said the
TexLUG isn't currently active. That's all I know.

I didnt see a mention of http://www.texlug.org/  (Texas LEGO Users Group) in

active since their line following contest in June 2006.
Have they merged into one of the other groups you mentioned?

I homeschool my eleven-year-old son, Eric, and we both joined the Robot
Group last week (although Eric wasn't physically there). We'd heard of the
group years ago from Bob Comer, our neighbor. I signed up for the Meetup
group, also.



I'm interested in robotics and teaching it to kids, although I'm neither
technical nor an artist (my degree being in Anthropology). Locally, there
are summer camps (such as the pricey IDtech , as recently discussed) and a
tiny program at the Children's Museum. Most of the ongoing action is in
contest teams, though. So here's the scoop about what Austin kids are
