Description

There will be an afternoon of learning how to code AND/OR building a Hebocon bot.

No need to RSVP but you can ask questions here: https://github.com/nodeschool/pdx/issues/1 or on the meetup page linked above.

Heard of Hebocon? It is a sumo style battle competition for crappy robots! Rules are here http://portal.nifty.com/hebocon/files/HEBOCON_simple_rule_book_v1.pdf Come hang out, build a crappy robot that battles against other crappy robots. Bring an old RC car or other electronics to assemble a robot for the competition.

May 23rd is NodeSchool International Day, so in addition to the Hebocon you can also show up with a laptop and learn some JavaScript. There will be JavaScript mentors available. If there is enough interest we can do the NodeSchool NodeBots workshop: https://github.com/tableflip/nodebot-workshop

Family friendly! Kids encouraged. There will be a separate kids sumo bracket for kid-made bots.

Schedule

  • 12pm - Show up!
  • 12pm - 4pm build bots and/or do nodeschooling
