The first Pi Wars Scotland<\/strong><\/a> is going to take place on Saturday, 26th May<\/strong> at University of Strathclyde<\/strong>, Glasgow<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This event, which is being run by\u00a0Martin Evans and Philip Thompson, is the first to take place in Scotland and has the full backing of myself and Tim Richardson. We’re planning to attend the event, too, to see how it goes and to help out!<\/em> \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Pi Wars Scotland is a one day, challenge-based robotics competition in which\u00a0Raspberry Pi<\/a>-controlled robots are created by teams and then compete in various\u00a0non-destructive<\/strong>\u00a0challenges to earn points. Prizes and Medals are awarded at the end of the day in a ceremony.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you’d like to apply to take part, please fill in this application form<\/a>. If you have any questions, please contact them<\/a>.<\/p>\n
