The May technology evening will take place at the same venue on 6 May. The topic will be Robocup – Robotics SA. The presenter, Mike Barker will be updating us on the recent quest to form a local organising team (Robotics SA) with a bid to bring the RoboCup event to South Africa in 2010 and to promote robotics in general. Mike will be bringing along some demonstrations so be sure not to miss this very interesting and topical event.
