	~~Maker Tech Tuesdays is a hackerspace provided by Chas Colburn at his place of business, 3DMetalParts, just south of the University of Maryland. The space is free to visit and is open every Tuesday.~~

	David Whiteis has ~~set up a~~ '''CRS/Fisher F3 Robotic arm''' ~~at Chas~~'s ~~place, which is now available for members~~ of HacDC ~~to play~~ with.		David Whiteis has loaned the '''CRS/Fisher F3 Robotic arm''' to Dr. Nuno Martin's group at the University of Maryland.

			HacDC members interested in working with the robot should get in touch with David.

	The robot went online March 6, 2013. David gave an overview of how the robot operates, followed by general discussion about what we might want to make the robot do. There will be other days scheduled soon. Anyone that first gets a basic safety and operations overview from David is welcome to begin operating the robot.

			For several months the F3 robot was at Chas Colburn's place, before it was loaned to the University of Maryland.

			Maker Tech Tuesdays is a hackerspace provided by Chas Colburn at his place of business, 3DMetalParts, just south of the University of Maryland. The space is free to visit and is open every Tuesday.

			David sent an email on 3-8-13 to 'marylandfilmmakersclub@gmail.com' to see if the film school students at http://www.marylandfilmmakersclub.com/home.html are interested in collaborating on a project.

	You could do great stop-motion animation with the setup. Your camera could move slightly every time your parts/clay are moved, making for a much more dynamic and flowing movie than when the camera stays in a static position.

			You could do great stop-motion animation with the setup. Your camera could move slightly every time your parts/clay are moved, making for a much more dynamic and flowing movie than when the camera stays in a static position.

			If you programmed the arm to move the camera through the air in a big, elaborate flowing path, and then had someone who was a hotshot at flying miniature RC helicopters fly a pattern that kept it in front of the lens, that would make an amazing video.
