[SGVHAK] Thu Mar 4th meeting recap

[Michael Proctor-Smith]

Sorry I did not make it to the meeting, but on the air hockey front is the
project focus building the table or the robot or both? As I have a
combination air hockey/pool/ping pong table which I don't use and have been
looking to give to a good home if you guys are not really interested in the
building of the air hockey part of the project.
