Arrived and setting up

After our 21 hour journey with the across Europe yesterday, we have now arrived at the competition venue in Magdeburg, Germany.


Today is setup day so we have now secured a space to set up our workstation and are now in the process of assembling and testing the robots.

Workstation Setup

The autonomous robot is working well, with a quick gimble modification to give it some more freedom on some of the slopes.

The teleoperated robot had been experiencing some problems with potentiometers in the arm joints and thanks to two delayed deliveries from RS Online, we are going to have to wait until tomorrow until the replacements to come in. While we still can use the arm in a more limited capacity without positional feedback, we would feel happier tomorrow when we can fit them in.

More later!
