Chapter's presentation to visitors at Conventions and other Venues:
We will be developing new "Stand Ups" and "Display Table Exhibits" because we need to re-emphasize our position on the Moon and its eventual Settlement and development. The stand ups will feature our version of a basic, low tech, settlement and the equipment that we see as important to the settlement and its growth and survival. We will build some basic systems in miniature and some in full scale, as we are capable of.
The table displays will also have one of our RC Racers on display with a descriptionof what it is about.
Along with the new table displays we will be developing new panels for the Cons to advance ideas about what is needed, what is probable, and what is likely along with other ideas about settling the Moon. We will be looking into what we can "depend on" from the local terrain and how to utilize it successfully.
Panels will also be dedicated to the companies setting the lead in Commercial Space, such as SpaceX, Virgin Galactic and Bigelow Aerospace and others as they develop.
The telepresence RC Racing Venue has been combined under Stuart Scott to have a better grasp on the progress of the procurement, assembly and the other associated items to make the racing a GO. Stuart will have full access to Don, Mike and Me for technical assistance and support as he needs it.
We have talked about having a larger Telepresence RC car for the Cons and other places to demonstrate the remote Control of vehicles on the Moon.
Our next Con will be LepreCon 37 in May in Tempe Arizona, refer to http://www.blogger.com/ for information, and then in September CopperCon31 in Avondale Arizona, refer tohttp://www.blogger.com/ for information.

TELEPRECENSE REMOTE CONTROL RACES
(Still on going planning for Races.)
The Moon Society Phoenix is still working on the Teleprecense Remote Control races.
Check this blog for details as they develop.
We are still discussing set-ups, rules, equipment and sponsorship rules at this time and it appears that the races wont occur until sometime in the late winter or early spring.
All races will be open to all comers, however, judging maybe bases on age and type (cost) of RV Car. If you prefer to buy your own car and practice for the races, then you will need a three (3) channel RC Car that can be purchased at Walmart, Target or another store. You will need a minature TV camera, a transmitter, a receiver and a device to display the picture from the Car so that you can practice driving the Car by use of the TV System only.
In the talking stages are basic racing, advanced races, and the Lunar Challenge, race heats may be run against the clock and/or one on one or more.
If you have comments and suggestions please make your comments to this blog or send them to me at portercd@msn.com Subject RC Racing.
Demonstrations of the Race Cars will be available at CopperCon32 at the Moon Society Outreach Table.
