Other Information/Notes
from Mitch:
Robo club couldn’t get any space on campus, but we managed to secure a room at the old Mellon College of Science building near Craig Street in Oakland. It had double height ceilings, so we built a booth for Spring carnival and then used the boot framework it to create a loft. It was a funky arrangement. We had a sofa up in the loft and practically the whole room was taken up with the air-hockey table.
