Pi Wars – the Raspberry Pi robotics challenge competition

What is Pi Wars?

Pi Wars is an international, challenge-based robotics competition in which teams build Raspberry Pi-controlled robots and then compete in various non-destructive challenges to earn points. The competition takes place over a single weekend and prizes and medals are awarded to those competing at the end of each day. In previous years, we've had teams from schools, families, groups of hobbyists and solo roboteers. We can take up to 76 teams over the event weekend which takes place in Cambridge, UK. The competition is open to anyone from around the world. To get a flavour of the day, take a look at the video below or check out other Pi Wars videos on YouTube.

Pi Wars 2019

The 2019 event will take place on 30th & 31st March at the Cambridge Computer Laboratory in England. You can find more information here. Spectator tickets will be on sale from 1st December.

To coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Apollo moon landings, our 2019 competition is space exploration-themed!

161 applications for #PiWars 2019. That's a new record, folks. Just a few duplicates to take out, but it's still a record. This is going to be hard, picking the right ones!

@Pi_Borg @awarburton Thinking of going cheap for test/development/driving practice... and as an emergency backup option on #PiWars day.
