Kenilworth Sixth Form lead after the first weekend of matches

After the first 24 matches of the SR2020 Virtual Competition, team KSF from Kenilworth Sixth Form head up the league leaderboard with 58 points. They’re closely followed by JAMDynamics and Lawrence Sheriff School.

The league matches provide a proving ground for all the teams’ hard work over the past few months in preparing their robot code. There is also a prize for the rookie team which scores the best in the league, which the Kenilworth Sixth Form and JAMDynamics teams are currently well placed for.

The teams now have a week to work on and improve their code before another 24 league matches are played over the course of next weekend. As we’ve seen with the changes in the league from today’s matches, this means there’s still all to play for.

If you would like to catch up on this weekend’s livestreamed matches, they’re available on YouTube:

We look forward to seeing you over the next two weekends for the continuation of the SR2020 Virtual Competition.

Transitioning to a Virtual Competition

In light of recent events, and the uncertainty it has brought, we’re unfortunately cancelling the in-person competition for Student Robotics 2020. As mentioned before, we are still running a virtual competition.

The virtual competition event will take place over a few weekend sessions in July, with a few weekends of league matches, and a knockout final.

As we said in the previous email, we aim to keep the virtual competition rules as similar to Two Colours as possible so you can easily build on the work done since Kickstart.

We will be announcing the full details of the virtual competition early next week, and update the event page accordingly.
