We are a family of aspiring roboticists from sunny Sevilla in South Spain. Today we received an email from the organization of Pi Wars 2024 confirming that our team sevillabot has been accepted to participate in the Beginner category of this popular robotics competition.
This is no small feat. Pi Wars is an international robotics challenge competition for Raspberry Pi-based robots. There are only 76 spaces available and it is always heavily oversubscribed. We are so excited we made it!
Next year’s edition will take place on 20th-21st April at the William Gates Building in Cambridge, UK. We will compete with our robot in a series of non-destructive challenges, both autonomous and remote-controlled.
This is just the beginning of our journey. Over the course of the next 196 days we will design, build, program and test a robot to overcome the seven Disaster Zone challenges of the competition, and we will also have to train hard and get really good at handling the robot for the remote-controlled ones!
Watch this space because we intend to tell you all about our journey here!
