Tim and I are delighted to announce that details of the challenges set for Pi Wars 2019 are now available on the Pi Wars website<\/a>. I’ve also included links to the individual challenges below. We were delighted to be able to announce this at the Raspberry Fields festival in Cambridge at the weekend during a talk about the origins of Pi Wars. Pi Wars<\/a> will take place on 30th & 31st March 2019 in Cambridge, UK.<\/p>\n

As well as this, we’ve announced our Space Exploration<\/strong> theme. It will be 50 years since the first Apollo\/NASA moon landing and so we’re going all-out on that theme.\u00a0But<\/strong> if you’re not into Space Exploration, and that kind of thing, don’t worry – Pi Wars will still be as much fun as usual, it’s just you’ll see more papier mache landscapes than usual \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Autonomous challenges are where the Raspberry Pi is controlling the robot by itself for the duration of the challenge without interference from the operator.<\/p>\n
