Took a crack at updating last years email, welcome feedback

Hi,

I'm reaching out to you on behalf of Student Robotics to invite you to attend our 2023 competition.

We're a UK-based STEM education charity that challenges teams of 16 to 19 year-olds to design, build, and develop fully autonomous robots. Our annual competition brings these teams together to showcase their incredible creations, and this year we're hosting it on the 1st and 2nd of April at the University of Southampton.

The competition is free to enter, and we provide all teams with the core electronics they need to build their robots. We want to encourage creative and ingenious solutions, so we keep constraints to a minimum. {{ if regional_news }} This year, we have teams from colleges in your local area competing, and we'd love to highlight some local talent. {{ endif }}

On Saturday 1st April, teams will be making the finishing touches to their robots before competing in league matches which define their place on our leaderboard. The knockouts will be held on Sunday, with the lucky few making their way to our finals.

Not only is the competition a thrilling display of engineering expertise, but it's also a fantastic opportunity for our competitors to gain invaluable real-world experience working in small groups with a deadline they can't miss.

If you're interested in finding out more about the competition, you can check out the event page on our website or check out our social media to see the progress of our teams. If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to ask. We hope to see you there!

Kind regards,

James

at Southampton University

The Uni would probably rather we used their proper name here: "University of Southampton".
