First meeting happened!

We officially started!

02.02.2020 happened our the very first meeting.

We were happy to welcome 10 talented engineers in robotics who are willing to learn and share!

The goal of the meeting was to discuss the way of working, as well as meet each other, introduce yourself and define the goal and vision of the meetings.

Outcome of the meeting

Goal of meetings

It is important to have people who can deliver, but it's even more important to have people who want to learn. We want to create a team and join the Robocup@Work competition in 2021, based on people from the Deep Berlin meetup. Robocup@Work is not a pure goal but more a vision or direction where we want to go.

Vision

We will build a robot for the Robocup@Work competition under 2.5k euros (the currently used solution, the KUKA youBot, costs 23k euros).

How

The team should be between 8-12 people. Regular meetings and actively contributing.

We will start meetings with every second Sunday (16.02.2020, 01.03.2020, ...) and adjust based on the need in the future.

People can join the team only via internal reference.

Where do we meet?

We aim to be company independent. So we want to find the place of the meeting outside any company space.

Way of working

One person prepares the meeting (agenda, tools, venue, ...). Each meeting has a clear agenda and goal.

P.S.: Thanks Mark for the great cake! It was delicious!
