\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The last weekend of March sees the 5th Pi Wars<\/a> competition. Teams from all over the world will come together in Cambridge, UK<\/a> and compete against each other on seven challenge courses, hoping to earn points, prizes and glory.<\/p>\n

You can get involved at the event, and attend for free, by volunteering as a Judge and\/or Marshal. It’s not as scary as it sounds! As a Judge, you’re given all you need to record scores and measure run times. As a Marshal, you’ll be manning the front desk and\/or doing little jobs to make the event run smoothly. All we ask is for 2-3 hours of your time. The rest is yours to do with as you please – check out the robots, watch some challenge runs and get to know some of the members of this great community.<\/p>\n

You can read a bit more about volunteering over on the Pi Wars website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You can volunteer either by grabbing a free ticket from our ticket merchant<\/a> or by contacting Mike via the Pi Wars website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you just want to attend Pi Wars as a spectator, tickets are still available – they are \u00a35 per day or \u00a37 for the weekend. Get your tickets here<\/a>. You’ll be able to see all the robots in action, browse the Marketplace and Show and Tell stalls and, if you’d like to, take part in a robot programming workshop with Neil Lambeth of Red Robotics.<\/p>\n

It’s all happening on 30th & 31st March, so come along and join in the fun. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
