They are just laying out the track now. It'll be their first event on Tarmac in years, and the first event with robotic entries!

I wonder if Pete & Richard would be allowed to use this robot in next year's #Piwars? :)

what about it @recantha :)

@piofthings @recantha
Are they doing the same theme that had been planned for 2020 but was cancelled for "reasons"?

#PiWars makes it to Puerto Rico!🇵🇷

It’s #MagPiMonday again, so let’s delve into the pages of the latest issue of the official #RaspberryPi magazine. This week, Rob Zwetsloot introduces us to #PuertoRico makerspace organiser Alex Martinez.

One from the blog archives, the MTV robot at #PiWars. The MTV robot is an #opensource design I did around a cheap tracked #robot chassis and was written up in @Raspberry_Pi 's Hackspace Magazine. https://concretedog.blogspot.com/2021/09/mtv-robot-at-piwars.html?m=1

Finally I wrote some code to display useful information on the display of my Tiny 4WD robot, also the RGB led shows if a joypad is connected. #PiWars #robotics

#piwars 2024?

RT @LeoWhitesTweets: Robot controller upgrade time!

Setup my #SteamDeck to control my #PiWars robot today, complete with live streaming video.

Latency doesn't seem too bad, but doubt I'll be doing full speed remote driving. https://t.co/gAdAYpkuub
