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.

League
Matches

The
first round of league sessions are this
coming weekend! For more information,
please see the event
on the website. Follow along and
help out in #events. |

Module

League Matches this weekend.

|
Friendly
Matches
|
|
We
ran some friendly matches for teams as a
low-stress way for them to test their
robots against other teams', and socialise
with other competitors / volunteers. They
went well!

Game
Modules
|
|
As
this competition year doesn’t feature a
physical competition event, the structure
of the competition has changed. The league
matches will take place on four weekends
throughout the year. After each league
session the game will gain additional
modules that will present new and
different challenges to the competitors. If
you have any cool ideas for modules
please share them in #game
on Slack or come along to a Competition
Meeting.

Module
3 Ideas
|
If
anyone has ideas for the next game module
(module 3), submissions (in #game
in Slack) will be welcome. |
|
Competition
Meetings
|
We
have weekly Competition meetings on
Thursdays at 8:30, these are open to all
so feel free to drop in without notice or
on an ad-hoc basis. These meetings, and
any others, can be found on the volunteer
calendar. |
|
Discord
|
We're
experimenting with using Discord this year
as opposed to the forums. If you'd like to
join and help answer questions or just
join in the banter with the teams, the
sign up link is pinned
in #general on Slack. |

Kit
|
|
Committee
|
|
The
Kit Committee is planning to hold monthly
informal sessions to onboard new
volunteers and welcome them to the Student
Robotics community. More details will be
available soon.

|
Brain
Updates
|
|
The
Brain Team is re-developing SR kit
software for the SR2022 cycle.
|
- Development continues with good,
albeit non-specific progress being
made
- We are looking for help testing the
new vision system, any expertise on
computer vision mathematics would be
greatly appreciated.
