PiWars done for another year...

We went to Cambridge, took the Dreally Orsome Growbot, competed in lots of challenges, had a good day, came back with a few Pi Zero's and met with Eben Upton! 


So we didn't win any categories outright, but considering the fantastic robots we were up against that had been built by people with a lot more expertise, time and money, we did OK and the robot survived!


Some pictures from the day:

And it makes noises....

'sort of' dog noises...



Before and after....

Thought you might like to see a 'before and after' shot... just to show how you can completely destroy a toy!
