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.

The competition has begun
|
The competition is well underway now. This year, in The Neutral Zone, teams are tasked with sorting out some mixed up chemicals. Their mission is to collect and catalogue samples, being careful which ones they collect. But when working with strong chemicals, care must be taken. If teams get acidic and basic samples too close together, they’ll react and neutralise each other, making them worthless. Feel free to check out the rulebook for the exact details. |
|
Teams are building their robots and submitting challenges, communicating with their teammates and other teams in our Discord. A big thanks to Karina for their work overhauling our Discord Bot to make creating and managing guilds that much simpler.

Challenge Days

We've planned 2 Challenge Days for SR2026. Similar to tech days, they're a chance for teams to get in a room and work on their robot with hands-on support from us blueshirts. But unlike tech days, these days are primarily focused around completing and judging challenges.
