For some reason a list of links to other peoples blogs is called a blogroll (I am not sure if links to sites made in software that is not blogging software is also a blogroll, but YMMV)… so here is my PiWars blogroll.
Since I got accepted as a backup team, for PiWars 2024, I thought I should research the other teams… knowing your competition is a good start.
There are a few points available for blogging about the process of getting to the competition (worth up to 1400 points), as well as making a video documentary about your robot (worth up to 2800 points). I assume that there are other teams out there who are also writing blog posts about the process. And that making a list of them, and reading their progress would help with getting ideas on how to generate solutions to the problems in the competition.
I thought it would also be useful to see photos of other peoples robots, to help B have ideas for our robot!
Looking through the discourse server’s #dz-blogging channel I have managed to start the population of this list (This site is built on WordPress, and I had to use the Eazy Enable Blogroll plugin to re-enable the blogroll and the Blogroll Block plugin for the following included list):
