AusRobotics - A new Australian robotics club!

Hi everyone!

Are you into robots and looking for a club in Melbourne/Sydney/
Brisbane/Perth/Adelaide/Anywhere? :)


I live in Melbourne and have been interested in robotics for as long
as I can remember but have never had much luck finding other people
that are into the same thing.

Unlike the US, there doesn't seem to be many robotics clubs around in
Australia for us robo-lovers to together and talk about stuff so to
that end I am attempting to start a new Australia wide club.

It is Australia wide to ensure that we have the maximum number of
members but could potentially have sub-nodes in every state for
organisation. Information would be shared via a central website so
that everyone knows what is going on everywhere else. That way if
members were in another state for a holiday or something they could
meet up.

I would love it if we could get something like this off the ground as
it would be a great chance for us to exchange information and skills.
I am a programmer by trade and have no problem with the software side
of robotics. It's just the mechanical side that seems to stump me. I
am sure there are people out there who are just the opposite and
meeting up would benefit us all. :)

There is still a lot to work out but if anyone is interested in
joining/helping or just exchanging information, please let me know via
email or by replying. Also if you are a member of Facebook (http://
www.facebook.com) you can also join and leave posts etc. in the
'AusRobotics' group.

Ash Harrison
