So far I'm the only one thinking about this.

First of all I hereby declare that we will be using Robocode for the
meeting.  Go to http://robocode.sourceforge.net to learn all about it.

Next:

What do we want this presentation to be?

A. A robot tournament?
- Then we need several people, the more the better, to create robots to
present and send into battle.

B. A walk through/demo of the Robocode environment and robots, samples
or personally developed.
- Then we need someone willing to do this presentation

C. A "learn together" stumble through the Robocode stuff so we can
perhaps create a robot together.
- Then we need someone willing to lead the group learning session.

OR

D. Do some other topic.

OR

E. Some other idea?

If we are to do A, I think people that want to battle need to sign up
and commit here in the list.  It would be a let down for only one or two
people to spend time developing their robots and not have much competition.

We have about a week, I think, to get this going before we give up on
the topic.  What do you all want to do?

Alan
