Pi Wars – the International Raspberry Pi robotics 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 non-destructive autonomous and remote-controlled challenges. Taking place over one weekend, the competition features teams of school students, family members and hobbyists as well as solo roboteers. The competition takes place in Cambridge, UK and is open to anyone on planet Earth! Find out more about our 2020 event or join our mailing list for news & updates.

@MarkMellors @robberwick Sadly I don't think we have recordings of any of the lightning talks or @LeoWhitesTweets. The lecture capture failed for the whole afternoon but some audience members recorded Rishan and Leon's talks.

If anyone recorded Leo or the lightning talks please do get in touch! #PiWars

@robberwick Paging @MarkMellors also I just realised your #PiWars lightning talk was the closest thing we had to a *literal* lightning talk ⚡
