What I learned from last nights experiments:
- Fan on the ESC is much louder than the brushless motor it is driving.
- All the nice CNC alloy parts I ordered are smaller than the 3D printed parts I planned to substitute them for.
Looks like I’ll have a set of parts suitable for a #PiWars size robot for the future, but too small for my A2 class #HackyRacer -

It was challenging to design such a small modular #3Dprinted #robot for #PiWars in 2024. I have started to work on the code again as so much was unfinished for the competition. This was my first robot using a #RaspberryPi 5 and my first robot with encoder motors. I wrote mechanum mixing with IMU support in #Micropython for the Motor2040 board, which the Pi5 talks to over the USB lead. After some work to better comment the code I have finally published it on https://github.com/Footleg/PiWars2024

My first mention in The Mag Pi back in 2017 was a picture of my children at #PiWars so it was nice to see I got them into the Raspberry Pi Magazine this month, 8 years on. Still doing community events together. #RaspberryPi #MakerMonday @rpimag

Bit rot sets in so fast! My #PiWars competition robot which has been working just fine since the competition in April just stopped running, the night before a STEM event I am showing my robots at. Python can no longer load picamera2. Ended up commenting out all the camera code to get it to run. Now it works, but will no longer auto-run the program from the service on boot. So I still can't show it running unless I take a keyboard, monitor and mouse to start up the code. WHY?!

@in_sympathy I'm sure some of the #PiWars community would help - they're good for choosing which challenge mode to be in :-)

My #piwars show report is live on Tom's Hardware
Get a drink, some nibbles and relax, it's packed full of robots and the great teams that made them.
