So what is dorkbotpgh?

dorkbotpgh is the pittsburgh chapter of dorkbot. Our meetings reflect what people in this area are interested in. Maybe it's military robot prototypes reborn as art projects. Maybe it's el-wire costumes, neon art, and backlit stained glass by local arists. Or perhaps it's cutting edge animation from local students and hackers or a local pneumatics expert showing off technology that artists might use in an installation.

We don't know exactly what dorkbotpgh is.
