Pi Wars 2024 – Challenge rankings

2024 Disaster Zone plaqueOn this page, you can see the rankings of the different challenges in different team categories.

Please note: these show only the teams that ranked according to the Formula Scoring System if that applied for the individual challenge. If it did not apply to the challenge, the teams are ranked according to score in the challenge. We realise this is slightly confusing and we will be altering the way we rank teams in future competitions, if there is such a thing!

Rest assured, wherever a team is not present in the rankings, if they competed in the challenge and scored points, those points counted towards their overall placing.

To view the overall placings, please go to this page. Merit videos can be viewed from this page.

Eco Disaster

A small note about Eco Disaster. For the Advanced teams, we got a bit confused as to whether Remote Control was allowed or not. This caused a bit of confusion at the prizegiving because the Remote Control teams were, of course, faster, and were ranked higher than the autonomous teams! To correct this, we have split the teams into Autonomous and Remote Control. An additional medal for the Autonomous winner will be cut and sent/delivered to them. Sorry about that!

Autonomous

Remote control

We thought it would be good to show this split up. As it turns out, all the Remote Control robots finished quicker than the Autonomous robots.
