At the February Cambridge Raspberry Jam, we announced “PiWars”.<\/p>\n

PiWars will be a challenge-based robotics competition for wheeled robots to be held in Cambridge on 6th December.
\nCategories will include, for instance, a speed challenge, a maze navigation challenge and a line-follower challenge.
\nMore information, including confirmed challenge categories, will be available soon on the CamJam website –\u00a0http:\/\/camjam.me<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve started up a thread on the Raspberry Pi Foundation forum for any questions or discussions. If, for instance, you have any ideas about what challenges should be set, that’s the place to post them so that everyone can see.<\/p>\n

I hope some of the subscribers to this blog will contribute to the discussion and, if possible, enter the competition! If you don’t fancy using the Forum, feel free to add comments to this blog post!<\/p>\n
