With the new semester about to begin, I am pleased to announce that the UofM Robotics club will be meeting Friday 4pm to 6pm 2pm to 4pm in ET204 unless otherwise announced.

If you are interested in joining, please contact Camden Sueing (cjsueing).

Update: The original project for this semester was to build robot arms, but we have decided to play with MicroROS V2 ROS2 AI Robot instead.
