The club presents a robotics seminar annually at the Mysticon SciFi convention.

Our seminar lasts about 3 hours, where we share info about hobby robotics to the unconventional convention attendees.

Speak with Gary or Mark if you would like to present or get more details.

Wow - The Robotics seminar demonstrated to a completely packed ballroom. The club had an excellent representation and presentations. Kevin flew in from Florida to emcee the seminar, truly awesome intro ! We started the seminar talking about hobby & STEM platforms, how to get started with robotics learning. Chason's 3D printing seminar had significant interest & questions. Mark, Mike, Victoria, Micheal & Elexia explained their projects of the scrubber bot, paper-duino, and of course ....drum roll please.....the pasty-resistance (that's french you know) ....the forever popular --> wheelchair Dalek.
Great time was had by all, we are invited to Geek Mob 2015 and next year's Mysticon 2016.

I see that Mysticon is sold out. I should've had the foresight to purchase a ticket in advance. I'm sure a big topic this weekend will be the life of Leonard Nimoy. He was such a great man. I'll be watching lots of Nimoy videos over the next few days.
Just watched a hilarious TED Talk. Thought some of you might enjoy it.

  Team, Great write-up page on the MystiCon site about the club! http://mysticon-va.co...

  Thanks for pointing out the write-up, Kevin. I would have thought the Dalek was more "art" than "media & entertainment" -- but maybe the categorization depends on the eye of the beholder.

  I noticed there is a serious typo / font issue in the writeup. "Approximately[masked] * 1012 microseconds into 2010,........." is supposed to be "Approximately[masked] * 10(power of 12) microseconds into 2010,.......". Being jocular in a nerdy way, it really represents Mega-seconds. The value of seconds calculates to 59.3 days , which would be 8AM March 1, 2010. Kevin was supposed to be at work.

  If superscript is too difficult to implement, "5.1284 E+12" would be an unambiguous way to show the correct day & date offset into the calendar year. Good thing there was no leap second in 2010.

  Got any plans on how to spend the leap second being added on June 30 at midnight?

  By coincidence, that's also when SkyNet becomes self-aware.

  I thought I'd become self aware today, but it was just gas.
