No Pi-Wars 2025

Of course we're a bit disappointed that there won't be a 2025 Pi-Wars. The 2024 event was great and it's a shame to not be able to go again so soon. We fully understand the reasoning behind it though, and after getting past our initial reactions to the news, we're actually now even more excited. A whole 2 years for development of the robot! What more could we ask for?

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't already feeling the time-crunch for 2025 with the scope of the updates we wanted to make. Now, with the revised plan to try and complete the hardware design & build by the date that the 2025 competition would have been, we have a whole year for any slip on the hardware development timelines, and significantly more time for software development than we did last time. With some luck we might not have to bodge anything in the weeks before the competition (or stay up until 3am the night before).

So, here's to 2 years of robotics development. See you at Pi-Wars 2026!
Or whenevever the next one is... either way, the development continues
