Fantastic weekend of robot competitions at #PiWars 2024 this weekend. We won one first place in the advanced category and very pleased with an overall 5 place. Many thanks to all at @PiWarsRobotics and all the judges and helpers that make this event such an amazing experience 👍
The next Uk MicroMouse competition is at Megacon Live in Manchester on 27-28 July 2024. Come over and say hello if you’re in the vicinity 😄 instagram.com/p/C82T_7qpivx/…
One of the best robots. 👾
It's from one of the best all-time movies.
Interstellar! 🧑🏼🚀
Do you remember TARS?
A developer called Charles Diaz has created a fully functional TARS replica using a @Raspberry_Pi.
This isn't just a static model - it can move forward and turn on sides.
At the heart of this stellar creation is a Raspberry Pi 3 B . The robot's graceful movements come courtesy of 4 micro servo motors and 5 metal gear servos. Bluetooth remote control ensures smooth operation.
All code and CAD files are freely available on Hackster.io!

P.S. The music makes me feel nostalgic...

PiWars 2024 Eco Disaster challenge run by Dangly Too ended up more a random push instead of the smooth autonomous run hope for 😄

#PiWars here we come, ready or not. We’ll be competing in Cambridge this Sunday with our new robot “Dangly Too”. He’s a bit of a beast to control with only 2 wheels, but looks good 😀
It's happening! It's really happening! It's #PiWars weekend. Today is set-up day and we're getting ready in Potton, Dutton and eventually Cambridge to receive our teams, volunteers and spectators tomorrow and Sunday. Get ready for... Disaster Zone!
