International NodeBots Day 2018

Norfolk.js and ODU HFES

It's July again and time for making JavaScript-controlled robots. It's our 5th annual International NodeBotsDay! The focus of NodeBots Day is on sharing and enjoying each other's company. And JavaScript. Lots of JavaScript.
This event is friendly for all ages and experience levels. There will be kits to use during the day for building Sumobots or you're welcome to bring your own parts to make a NodeBot of your choosing.
