We’re pleased to announce the dates for the virtual competition. As previously announced the competition will run over three weekends in July.

Teams will submit their code in advance and the simulated matches will be broadcast live via a live stream over the weekend.

We’ll be publishing more details of the competition, including how code submission will work nearer the time, so be sure to watch the event page for updates.

In light of recent events, and the uncertainty it has brought, we’re unfortunately cancelling the in-person competition for Student Robotics 2020. As mentioned before, we are still running a virtual competition.

The virtual competition event will take place over a few weekend sessions in July, with a few weekends of league matches, and a knockout final.

As we said in the previous email, we aim to keep the virtual competition rules as similar to Two Colours as possible so you can easily build on the work done since Kickstart.

We will be announcing the full details of the virtual competition early next week, and update the event page accordingly.

Virtual Competition

We will be running a virtual Student Robotics Competition this summer. Our volunteers are hard at work developing a simulator-based solution for teams to compete in.

We aim to keep the virtual competition rules as similar to the SR2020 game, Two Colours, as possible.

Due to the nature of a virtual competition, we should be able to allow competing schools to enter additional teams.

Our first test event is scheduled for late May / early June. We’re really excited to see where this goes.

Physical Competition

While our plan is still to run a physical competition if we can, this is looking increasingly unlikely. Please stay tuned for updates.

You can still find the latest updates on our COVID-19 updates page.
