Race Day Berlin - Build/Race RoboCars

Join us for our hack/race day at Hella Ventures for Berlin Self-Driving Car and Autonomous Mobility event.

Race Overview (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B02X9kiSe3GBZlVoa3J6aGVXbkE/view?usp=sharing) provides the details for the race track design and check out this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfwq73D7oHg) to get a feel for how it would look like!

Note: For the ground, we will not use gray paper. Instead, we will put the tape on gray concrete. Also every team will get some time to record data on the final track before the race to fine tune the model if needed.

I'm happy to announce that Hella Ventures decided to sponsor a special price for the winner of the race. The team with the fastest complete round will receive a drone development kit!

Schedule:

• 15:00 Introductions and grab a drink.

• 15:30 Preparations and fine tune your cars.

• 18:00 Race

• 19:00 Announcing the winner.

Don't worry if you don't have anything to bring/work on. You're welcome to just hang out and do the meetup thing. Or help others to work on their things. This is that brief moment where we can all be n00bs. Someday our cars are supposed to be perfectly safe and autonomous. But for now, let's code and crash while we still can.

Thanks to Hella Ventures water and soda will be provided.

Looking forward to seeing you all there!
