All our kit downloads are being served using a Raspberry Pi from our sponsor Mythic Beasts. That's pretty cool!

SR2022 has begun! https://studentrobotics.org/blog/2021-11-15-sr2022-kickstart-and-rules/

We're throwing a virtual tech day on teh 4th December on our Discord. 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 organise mentoring for this year. If you are interested in helping out a team with their robot, software, or strategy, fill in the form in the email coming out soon.

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!

We have shipped 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.
