What’s new
Next meeting
Monday June 11th, 2012 at 7pm.
We’ll be in room T102 at Algonquin College.
IEEE Robotics Competition
On May 26, 2012, there will be a robotics competition in Barrhaven. It’s organized by the Ottawa chapter of the IEEE.
Eastern Canadian Robot Games
The Canadian National Robot Games was unfortunately cancelled in 2011. On the plus side, that gives everyone more time to tweak their robots for the Eastern Canadian Robot Games (ECRG) being held in Ottawa in the fall, 2012!
Website updates
We switched to WordPress in late March and there are a few wrinkles left to iron out. It’s now easier for multiple editors to work on the website, so if you’d like to help out let us know. Training will be provided.
Who We Are
The Ottawa Robotics Enthusiasts (ORE) club is a informal group of hobby roboticists in Canada’s national capital region. We get together at least once a month to show off our creations, share information, and work together on more ambitious projects. Some examples of what we do are:
- Splatbots: autonomous robots armed with paintball markers and laser targeting systems.
- MiniORE and MicroORE: robot control modules based on PIC microcontrollers
- Public education: Ottawa Mini Maker Faire in 2010, Canada Museum of Science and Technology in 2003. We also work with several high schools in the area
- group challenges: line-following, mini-sumo, splatbots. Each a semi-competitive real-world challenges.
- group debugging: Most of our members were newcomers at one point and are ready to help with other’s problems.
This website documents lots of what we do but most of the real activity is on our mailing list. See our FAQ for the basics and look at the mailing list archives to get a good flavour of how we operate. Look at our meetings page for schedules and directions to our meetings. Newcomers of any skill level are definitely welcome to our meetings and on our mailing list.
