NodeSchool International Day and Hebocon (crappy robot contest) extravaganza!

On Saturday, May 23rd from 12PM - 5PM we will be having a coding + bot battling party at CTRL+H.

There will be an afternoon of learning how to code AND/OR building a Hebocon bot.

Heard of Hebocon? It is a sumo style battle competition for crappy robots! Rules are here: http://portal.nifty.com/hebocon/files/HEBOCON_simple_rule_book_v1.pdf Come hang out, build a crappy robot that battles against other crappy robots. Bring an old RC car or other electronics to assemble a robot for the competition.

May 23rd is NodeSchool International Day, so in addition to the Hebocon you can also show up with a laptop and learn some JavaScript. There will be JavaScript mentors available. If there is enough interest we can do the NodeSchool NodeBots workshop: https://github.com/tableflip/nodebot-workshop

Family friendly! Kids encouraged. There will be a separate kids sumo bracket for kid-made bots.
