It's July again and time for making JavaScript-controlled robots. It's our 4th annual International NodeBotsDay! The focus of NodeBots Day is on sharing and enjoying each other's company. And JavaScript. Lots of JavaScript.
This event is friendly for all ages and experience levels. There will be kits to use during the day for building Sumobots or you're welcome to bring your own parts to make a NodeBot of your choosing.

Parking:
You may park for free in garage (E) marked on ODU's Parking Map (https://www.odu.edu/content/dam/odu/offices/parking-and-transportation-services/docs/campus-transportation-map.pdf). It is located at the corner of Bluestone and 49th street. (Note: Do not park in a spot marked "reserved.")
Food and beverages:
We will be providing drinks, a pizza lunch, and afternoon snacks. Snack and drink machines are available throughout Webb Center. Unfortunately, Webb dining services are closed on Saturday in the summer. There are many places to eat on Monarch Way (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Monarch+Way,+Norfolk,+VA+23508/@36.8841898,-76.3024479,17z/data=!4m13!1m7!3m6!1s0x89ba984cab3ba4d3:0x29b54b352141573d!2sMonarch+Way,+Norfolk,+VA+23508!3b1!8m2!3d36.8841898!4d-76.3002592!3m4!1s0x89ba984cab3ba4d3:0x29b54b352141573d!8m2!3d36.8841898!4d-76.3002592) (Like The Den, Raising Canes, Borjo Coffeehouse, Jimmy Johns, and Tropical Smoothie Cafe). It's just a short walk across Hampton Blvd and near the Ted Convocation Center.
