Module 4 Announced to Competitors
|
|
This substantially changes the arena layout and adds new kinds of territories worth more game points. The towers also received an upgrade meaning they no longer become locked out, but if a robot attempts to claim a territory they already own then it will become unclaimed.
|
If you're interested in helping out with the final module and knockouts, come along to a competition meeting or get in touch.
|
Social
|
We're planning on running some social events during early April. If you want to come along, just fill out the doodle poll in Slack.

Friendlies
|
We ran some friendly matches on Saturday 13th, they went well.
|
We're planning on running some more friendly matches for teams on the 3rd and 17th of April. These are a great chance to see how teams are fairing in the competition. They're very relaxed, and we mostly comment on how teams are performing in the matches. If you're interested in coming along or helping them happen, come along to a competition meeting, or join the calls when they're posted.
