Student Robotics (Almost) Weekly Newsletter

2021-10-10 : SR2022 Issue 02
The Student Robotics (Almost) Weekly Newsletter is a (roughly) fortnightly newsletter which summarises the goings‐on across Student Robotics. Emboldened items are ones for which additional help has been requested.
Kit Packing Event - Next Weekend
There's a kit packing day happening on 2021-10-16 (next Saturday) at Southampton University (Building 32 (32/3077)). Plan is to start at around 10am.
Kit packing is when we test the kit works, clean it, triage it and pack it into RUBs to be shipped out to teams. It'll be a great chance to meet other volunteers and generally socialise. We'll probably then do something social in the evening too.
All volunteers welcome, although we do strongly recommend doing a COVID test before attending. There's a calendar event with all the details.
Kit Hack Day - 30th October
There's a kit "hack" day happening on 2021-10-30 at Southampton University (Building 32 (32/3077)). We're planning to start at around 10am.
Kit hacking days are a chance for us to spend a day working on all aspects of the kit, making sure it's ready for kickstart. Not only is there development, but documentation, testing, chatting, discussions, and more. It'll be a great chance to meet other volunteers and generally socialise. We'll probably then do something social in the evening too.
All volunteers welcome, although we do strongly recommend doing a COVID test before attending. There's a calendar event with all the details.
Game Design
A successful games design meeting was had on Thursday, and work on a rulebook has begun. Join #game in Slack and see discussions on the rules. All contributions are welcome.
Kickstart
This year is the long-awaited return of the physical robotics competition! Kickstart will be a virtual event, that is currently planned for 13th November.
