It was nice to have a &#8220;knitting&#8221; event where we could all sit around and talk, get to know each other better, have a few laughs, etc. while we worked on some electronics. <\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/streettech.com\/storypics\/dorkBot2.jpg\" border=\"1\" width=\"400\" \/><\/center> <\/p>\n<p>Several people informally showed off projects, including Mark Adams&#8217;s six-legged Basic Stamp-based walker (see below). Dig the alligator-clip mounts for the LCD display. Classy. The display shows program execution in real time. Thomas Edwards also showed the progress he&#8217;s made on his touch over IP project. A few people learned to solder and started work on their first robot. Touching, really. You never forget your first bot.
