Tech Days are opportunities for teams to spend a whole day working on their robot with lots of help available. They’re also an opportunity to see how other teams are doing or get more direct help with their robots.
With the first Challenge Submission Deadline on the same day, this Tech Day provides an excellent opportunity for teams to work towards completing the challenges and earn their first league points. In order to support this we plan to mentors available right up to the submission deadline, so that everyone has the best chance of success.
Teams are of course welcome to work on whatever they choose. As usual we’ll also be around to answer questions about the competition, give kit support, and assist with your strategy ideas.
We see a strong correlation between teams who make early progress and attend Tech Days and performance in the competition, so you are encouraged to attend the Tech Day if they can.
Our SR2023 January Tech Day is being hosted on our Discord server.
