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 👍

Rolling joints for small robotic legs. Great idea for a future #piwars youtu.be/TQiLLcumqDw?si=TVeU…

I've now got to add @pimoroni Tiny FX to these two craft, which is basically the sole reason I designed the product 🤣

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! 🧱 Build it guys, build it, break it, and build it again: lnkd.in/dAGrVpyc P.S. The music makes me feel nostalgic... ~~~ ♻️ RT to help 1 robot find a new workplace.

Autonomous AI racing in all its glory😄 #piwars teams could do better! youtu.be/feTxamTHQAA?si=yCE-…

#PiWars A warm welcome awaits. We're still setting up. We are very tired.

#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!
