Discord Server replaces IRC Chat

Page last updated on 2/19/26

Seattle Robotics Society members have been using IRC Chat for years as a place to come ask live questions of other SRS members, seek help for technical problems, or just chat about robotics.

This technology is outdated and needed to be replaced, so we finally have a Discord Server to replace it.

Directions

The perpetual invitation link for the SRS Discord Server is https://discord.gg/Pxcq5KEE2E

Beginner’s Guide to Discord

If you have problems, post a message on the SeattleRobotics@groups.io discussion group. Honestly, it might be faster to just Google your issue or reach out to other Discord users.

Connecting to the SRS Discord Server

How to sign-up and use this:

1) Using the invite link above, create a new account or log in using your Discord credentials.

2) This Discord Server is required to be invite-only, so a this URL is needed for access.

3) Once logged in, you will see the name of your server as “SRS Chat”.

4) It is very easy to use and navigate. You communicate via textual content (including URLs) or  connect with others via video or voice (under the 1 Voice Channel).

5) There are 2 textual content channels – 1st is general purpose, 2nd to submit your name and presentation topic for an upcoming SRS meeting.

6) To log out, in the lower left of screen, click the gear icon, mouse over the left-hand column, scroll to the bottom, and click “Log out”.

7) To log back in, go to https://discord.com/login and enter your Discord credentials.
