Welcome to the '''[http://www.gatech.edu/ Georgia Tech]''' '''[http://www.robojackets.org/ Robojackets]''' '''[http://www.robocup.org/ RoboCup]''' wiki!
We meet weekly on Wednesday at 7PM in the [http://gtalumni.org/campusmap/ Tin Building] (building #48 on the map - Mechanical Engineering Research Building) though the meeting time may change this summer.

==Announcements==
* For the Electrical ppl. Come the meeting on thursday. We have parts.
* 09/21/06 I saw this book label RoboCup 2003 in the library and I've taken the liberty to check it out. I left it in the Tin building in room 109 if anyone wants to see it. Its checked out in my name so e-mail me or leave a msg on the board to let me know if your borrowing it, but you shouldn't have to as it came with a CD which I think just has all the papers in the book. Oh yeah, Go Jackets! [[User:Marksp|Phillip]] 19:08, 21 September 2006 (EDT)
* 09/19/06 Added some ARM programming/reference links to the [[RCmicro|Microcontroller]] page. [[User:ScottT|ScottT]] 00:40, 19 September 2006 (EDT)
* 09/04/06 Finished protocol design still needs some tweak, input is welcome. Moving on to motion system. Oh yeah we need a name for our team or should RoboJackets suffice?--[[USER:Marksp|Phillip]]
* 08/08/06 Finally put down on paper and wiki the protocol design. Will add some more pics and give more detail as time goes on. Next up wireless hardware. --[[USER:Marksp|Phillip]]
* 05/31/06 Would someone (I think Phil or Ryan) please email or post the general roadmap so the other teams can add it to their page?
* 05/06/06 Found a mailing list for small size hosted by the CoC [https://mailman.cc.gatech.edu/mailman/listinfo/robocup-small here]

* 04/18/06 The RoboCup US Open will be held this weekend at Georgia Tech see this website for details: http://www.robocup-us.org/
