Parents and responsible adult mentors are welcome join in the fun. The main goal is to provide High school and junior high students the opportunity learn skills and tools in a fun way. This will be accomplished by prototyping, designing and building one or more robots. The remote controlled robots will first manipulate objects on the playing field then shoot ping pong balls into remote targets. The two person robot driving teams will compete for the highest possible score in three minute rounds. Club meetings will be two Saturdays a month at noon. The first meeting will be March 22nd.

Thanks for the offer and flexibility Martha! I believe Devin has tile set aside for the bathroom already but I'm sure if you're trying to get rid of them they could be put towards another purpose. Perhaps a nice counter in the kitchen/front room. I will try to get lumber and masonry screws for the french cleats this week. If I have time I might even get the studs set up. Properly mounted each cleat should be able to hold +80 lbs. I'd recommend using angled supports for anything that sticks out more than 10 inches. regards, Andrew L On Sat, Mar 15, 2014 at 3:40 PM, Martha Geroch mger...@yahoo.com wrote: I will try to be there any day you pick.

Re: [SH-Discuss] SYNHAK Cleanup
Thanks Torrie for putting GARC on the calendar for the 22nd. I put the following under the link provided. Who is our point of contact at the newspaper? Greater Akron Robotics Club The club is open to all with an interest in making machines that compete and do things. Parents and responsible adult mentors are welcome join in the fun. The main goal is to provide High school and junior high students the opportunity learn skills and tools in a fun way. This will be accomplished by prototyping, designing and building one or more robots. The remote controlled robots will first manipulate objects on the playing field then shoot ping pong balls into remote targets. The two person robot driving teams will compete for the highest possible score in three minute rounds. Club meetings will be two Saturdays a month at noon. The first meeting will be March 22nd. The meeting locations will at SYN/HAK at 48 Summit St. Akron OH For additional information, please contact Tim Seeley 330-858-1719 V/R Tim Seeley -Original Message- From: discuss-boun...@synhak.org [mailto:discuss-boun...@synhak.org] On Behalf Of Torrie Fischer Sent: Friday, March 14, 2014 9:40 AM To: SYN/HAK discussion list Subject: Re: [SH-Discuss] SYNHAK Cleanup On Friday, March 14, 2014 13:08:11 Seeley, Tim wrote: Clean up day is a great idea.

Re: [SH-Discuss] SYNHAK Cleanup
I'm not a tax agent, I don't play one on TV but since the Knight foundation grant was not an infrastructure grant are we legally allowed to use those funds for improvements to the building and IT infrastructure? I'm trying to find exactly what 'charitable purposes'(can we ask the Knight Foundation?) are in the eyes of the IRS as well as some infrastructure grants we can apply to. So far all I have been able to get through is: http://www.irs.gov/Charities--Non-Profits/Charitable-Organizations/Exempt-Purposes-Internal-Revenue-Code-Section-501%28c%29%283%29 and http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-tege/eotopicb80.pdf which I am skimming since it's lengthy, more historical, and I have time sensitive school things I also need to be doing regards, Andrew L On Thu, Mar 13, 2014 at 7:25 PM, Andrew Buczko a4s...@dsprototyping.comwrote: Yeah, great idea.

Building racks to hold the things people use and hack on is part of our mission to provide infrastructure. So yes. We can use it to build out our space as long as it helps us become a better hackerspace. This includes things like building walls around the machine shop, building vertical storage, repairing our floor, buying a commercial kitchen sink, and so forth. If you've got questions about it, I can ask the community foundation for details once they open back up.
