[XCSSA] [SATLUG] Upcoming Meetings?

[X-otic Computer Systems of San Antonio]

Howdy...

The current robot we are competing with right now is Shamus,
This is for the SA BEST competition where we placed second over all and 
qualified for the Texas State in Denton beginning of December.
This is the "small" robot and can be seen below...

Big brother Bubba will also show up at the meeting this Monday, this is 
the FRC robot we built for the competition in Houston in February where 
we placed 16 out of 31 teams. That was a pretty good considering that 
our robot broke the day before competition and we could not shoot any 
balls with the turret.

For those who like Lego robots, First Lego League is held next Sunday 
weekend (11/22) at the Witte Museum. I'm volunteering as a referee for 
this competition so feel free to stop by and say hi.
