Upcoming Tech Day
|
After a successful Virtual Tech Day on the 22nd January in our Discord server. Teams met in person to work on their robots and got help and guidance remotely from our volunteers. Great progress was made! |
Following on from this success, we are planning another virtual Tech Day on the 5th March. If you're interested in helping out with this tech day, please join #competition-team in Slack and let us know! |

Tasks have been imported into the task tracker
|
The recurring tasks that we need to complete for each competition have been imported into srobo/tasks. This year we have grouped the tasks into areas and assigned a Head and a Deputy for each. If you see a task you want to get involved with just comment on the issue :) |

Kit Update
|
The Kit team has released version 2022.1.0 of the brain board image and are working on creating a browser interface to help teams work on their code. If you're interested in helping build this new UI join #kit-web-interface |

Progress from Teams
|
|
We recently polled teams to get a sense of how they're going. As you'd expect at this stage of the competition, the results were mixed. Some of the teams have moving robot bases and are honing their ability to find cans, while others are still in the early stages of construction. In addition to mentoring (some of which is happening in person), we're considering other ways to support teams pro-actively to ensure they have the best experience at the competition.
