Current President

I was elected to start as president of the group starting in 2010. My goal is to do whatever it takes to help grow the membership, become involved in projects and public events, and to generally get the group moving forward to see just what we are capable of. This is one of the most creative groups of people that I have met and I would very much like for the community to see what we can do, and to want to be a part of something as unique as The Robot Group.

About me

I have an interest in CNC machines, electronics, and working with others as both a teacher and to learn from the talent pool we have here. I am currently looking into other area groups to build new relationships and build a network of talent within the Austin area. I am currently writing an HTML based electronic book that I would love to have used by the school systems to get students interested in electronics and robotics. I have found much to my dismay that many students are not familiar with tools and construction or manufacturing... and if this is not brought to them, I feel the skill sets will be lost to other countries. I want very much to draw the next generations into building, learning, and doing new things.

Electronic Book

I am working on an electronics book that will be offered as a robotic kit when completed. For now you can see my current progress here ELECTRONICS ONLINE BOOK some areas are not written yet so expect to see some missing pages. I am converting this from an older version so some of the formatting will change as well. I welcome your feedback on this project.
