Student Robotics (Almost) Weekly Newsletter

2021-11-25 : SR2022 Issue 05
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.
SR2022 Kickstart a success
The SR2022 competition year was kicked off with our Kickstart event which was livestreamed to competitors on YouTube! You can find out more about the event as well as a summary of this years game in our companion blog post
Mentoring Teams
We're starting to organise mentoring for this year. If you are interested in helping out a team with their robot, software, or strategy, please fill in this form and we'll try and match you with a team.
Tech Days
We're throwing a virtual tech day on the 4th December on our Discord. This will give use the chance to provide some direct help to teams who may need it, and answer questions anyone may have. You can sign up to Discord using the links in Slack.
We're starting to think about what in-person tech days might look like for 2022. If you're interested in helping organise them or the rest of the competition event, come join a competition team meeting!
New Kit Software
With the start of this year's competition cycle, we have shipped our new Yocto-based ODROID operating system.
The image runs our new j5-based API, sr.robot3, new vision system and our new robot management system (replacing Herdsman). All included Python software on the runs on Python 3.9.
All our kit downloads are being served using a Raspberry Pi from our sponsor Mythic Beasts. That's pretty cool!
