The Drone Club meets the fourth Monday evening of each month from 7 to 8 p.m., in Room 104 at the Creative Arts Technology Center. We have no dues, and attendance is open for any Robson resident who is interested in anything that is drone related, regardless of what they own or understand, but have a desire to learn more about. As an enhancement to our Drone Club members, we are now offering a presenter video recording, which can be accessed through membership in Groups.io (formerly known as Yahoo Groups) at rrtxtech.groups.io/g/main and on our website, robsontech.club/traveling-with-your-smartphone.
Our March 27 meeting was hosted by Steve Simpson who was honored to have the CoServ Drone Team of Ty Flemming (Power Quality tech and SR drone pilot) and Ken Oltmann (SR multimedia comm specialist) who were on hand to present to us “Using Drones to Maintain Power Transmission to the Community.” This meeting was to inform attendees of “Use of Drones at CoServ in Maintaining and Enhancing Gas and Electrical Delivery Service.”
We had a robust group of Robson attendees, who asked many questions during the presentation agenda, which included the main topics of “Responsibilities of a CoServ Power Quality Tech” and “How CoServ Has Integrated Drone Use into Their Daily Operations.”
On May 22 we will have an FAA Drone Pro representative coming to speak to us about current regs and OPPS for the recreational flyer, as well as what to expect in the future. We hope to see everyone then.
