A NodeBots event is a full day event where JS developers team up in small teams to program robots with JS.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWe'll have arduino kits you can use to build and program robots. You don't need to know what a resistor is or how to use an aynschronous callback, we'll have hardware and JS experts ready to help you throughout the day. We've also got 3 radio-controlled, video-enabled cars which can be controlled with JS over wifi, and with  extra sensors, displays and buckets of Lego Technic, it'll be a fun day of prototyping and hacking.\r\n\r\nYou'll be able to buy Arduino kits at a discount on the day, if you want to take your work home with you (sorry you can't buy the lego though!)\r\n\r\nYou will need to bring your own laptop, and it will help if you have already installed node.js. We'll have plenty of mentors to help and guide you throughout the day.\r\n\r\n#### Date\r\nSaturday 25th July 2015, 10:00am\r\n\r\n#### Organisation\r\n\r\n- [ ] Raise invoice with Haybrook for sponsorship (@spikeheap has the figures)\r\n- [ ] Structure? #56 @AverageMarcus had some good points on this.\r\n-  ~~Nodecopter?~~\r\n-  ~~Untethered Nodebots? #40 (:+1:)~~\r\n- [ ] Order/procure hardware kits/parts (see #121)\r\n- [x] Talk to Espruino about sponsorship/attendance?

I could also bring 2 soldering irons. \r\n\r\nPersonally I wouldn't bring any gas ones - as @AverageMarcus says there could be some fire issues that you wouldn't have with electric ones - also while they're fine for doing wire, I reckon you'd make a bit of a mess of a PCB with one?\r\n\r\nI guess other things that'd be needed are:\r\n\r\n* Side cutters - to trim component legs once soldered (I could bring 2 of those)\r\n* Solder\r\n* Work Clamps - a kind of [helping hand](http://www.amazon.co.uk/Helping-Magnifier-Strong-Alligator-Crocodile/dp/B004VMV6D8) thing. While not vital they do make soldering some things easier. I can bring 1 of those.\r\n\r\nFor the wheels, what about [something like this?](http://uk.essentracomponents.com/shop/en-GB/essentracomponentsuk/feet--casters---glides-29054-44/self-adhesive-bumpers---rubber-feet-348552-44/self-adhesive-bumpers---rubber-feet-348552-44/round-self-adhesive-bumper---rubber-foot%3A-clear--457-mm-base-diameter--152-mm-base-height-1011630) or [Sod138 from here](http://www.componentforce.co.uk/category/586/stick-on-discs)?\r\n\r\nNot sure what they'd be like, but it could be a nice easy way to get a little bit more grip while keeping them all the same."}}
