The Saskatoon Combat Robotics club is having an exhibition tournament at Saskatoon Techworks this Saturday and Sunday (March 23 and 24). Members are encouraged to come check it out. This event is open to the general public as well and are welcome to come check out the robots and the space.
2013 AGM Report
Just a quick overview of last night’s AGM…
Elected a new board, it consists of:
- James Cooper
- Rylan Grayston
- Albert La
- Jeremy Rans
- Ryan Silk
- Kurtis Wanner
Actual board member titles are TBD (these are decided amongst the board members) but should be announced shortly.
Another noteworthy tidbit is that a bylaw change was passed to lower the number of people required for quorum. This was previously “the lesser of 12 people or 50% membership” and is now “the lesser of 10 people or 50% membership.”
Finally, we discussed a variety of workshops that we’re going to be looking to hold in the near future. These include CAD/CAM (SolidWorks/Aspire), PCB manufacturing, casting & molding & arduino. Stay tuned for specific dates.
2013 Annual General Meeting
Just another reminder, this year’s AGM is at 7PM on Tuesday March 12th at 422 44th St E. All members are encouraged to attend and the public is welcome to attend as well. Hope to see everyone there!

CSSS Career Fair – Tuesday February 12th
Still on our high from Spectrum, we’ve decided to set up a booth at the Computer Science Students’ Society career fair this year. No, we’re not hiring, but our group is a great way to further your education after (or even before) graduation, and we don’t look too bad on a resume either. If you’re around the University next Tuesday, you should come check us out! Things kick off at 10AM in the 3rd floor Spinks computer lab. More details can be found here: http://csss.usask.ca/Career%20Fair.php.
