About the Workshop and Tournament
The main focus of the event is getting started with robot programming and having fun and therefore we will all compete with the same hardware - the Zumo robot. We have quite a few Zumo 32U4 robots and if you want to borrow one, just let us know in the signup form (first-come, first-served).
We will start with a workshop on Wednesday, 7/9, 6-10 pm (CEST) at the Vinnovera office, Västerlånggatan 27 in Gamla Stan where you will learn the basics of the programming and how to connect sensors and other hardware. We will have a soldering iron and electrical components on site for you to use. There will also be a lot of other material available, so that you can pimp your ride for the tournament. Snacks and beverages will be served. Please bring your own laptop for the workshop.
The tournament will be held at the conference mingle on Thursday 8/9 (around 7 pm CEST) and consists of a group play-off, followed by semi-finals and a final. There will be a price for winning the tournament, but the "Best character in show" will also be awarded.
The spots for the workshop and tournament are limited, last day to apply for a spot is on Wednesday, 7/9, 1 pm CEST, by 3 pm the latest, we'll contact you and let you know if you've gotten a spot.
If you want to compete as a group (of two, or three people) that is perfectly OK, just make sure to notify us in the signup form
