Student Robotics (Almost) Weekly Newsletter

2015-05-06 : SR2016 Issue 01

This is the first issue of the 2016 Student Robotics (Almost) Weekly Newsletter, a (roughly) fortnightly newsletter which summarises the goings‐on across Student Robotics. Emboldened items are ones which we believe could do with extra hands. An absence of emboldening does not necessarily mean that everything is done.

Updates

• The 2015 competition happened and it was awesome, congratulations go to the winners and thanks to all the volunteers who helped out on the day—we hope to see you next year! Photos of the competition are being posted to Flickr.
• A number of volunteers have posted their opinions of how this year’s competition went.
• A “News & Events” mailing list has been created to coincide with the first fortnightly newsletter of the 2016 year. The mailing list will contain information regarding upcoming events and related news which I would recommend any volunteer subscribe to.
• Various updates to the tools have been merged. Changes include support for Python 3, virtual environments and a new ‘sr inv-history’ tool.

Thanks to everyone who helped put this issue together. If you would like, you can also read the previous issue.
