San Diego Robotics Club

At UC San Diego - EBU 1 (Jacobs School of Engineering) - Warren Mall.
You can't miss it, just below the iconic library.

Mark your calendar for 5/10 10:00 AM. We will start to setup things at 9 AM, earlier than that and the students will complain.

Thanks,
-Jack

We will be racing at UCSD
10 to 12, practice
12 to 13, lunch
13~15 races
Family and friends are welcome

This is an outdoor scale autonomous car race event with a relatively large track. You can use deep learning, computer vision, or GPS/GNSS/INSS. Because we don't lines/lanes as in our smaller UCSD track where we simulate a street, computer vision racers may have a harder time. GPS/GNSS will make your life easier. We will add WiFi to the larger outdoor track in case you need to use a corrections service /RTK.

Thank you,
-Jack
p.s. food and beverage are available for purchase across the track at the Price Center.

San Diego Robotics DIYRobocars Race-Prep Day, Hosted by UCSD.

Please keep in mind that at the Saturdays meeting we expect you to have your robocar built and software installed. I hope you will understand that for us time at the track is limited to once a week for 4 hours. We would like to use it for development as much as feasible.

Please complete your robot build before coming to the Saturdays meetup. See the 2nd Wednesday of month Beginner/Builder Meetup and our slack channel. Then bring your bot and computer to the track.

Please sign-up and come for our monthly Beginners and Builders Meetup before coming to the Saturdays Meetup.

Agenda:
10 :00 am - 2:00 pm. Training and racing

We have built a double lane track with a yellow dashed center-line. Expect a track roughly 30x15 feet, with a concrete floor and duct tape lines.

Don't worry if you are still working things out with the software. We will be on hand to help all get going. This is a great chance to gather training data for you robot. Still figuring out hardware and/or configuring the software on the bot and laptop? Go to one of the 2nd Wed of month Beginner/Builder Meetups.

There will be tables, power, and wifi. Please bring your laptops and bot and be ready to hack.

A special thanks to UCSD for hosting us.

Thank you.
SD DIYRobocars.

On the 2nd Monday of the month we have our monthly Autonomous Vehicles Builders and Beginners event at a local brewery. It is presented by members of the San Diego Robotics group.

The project is DIY and for open source autonomous cars of any size, from tiny 1:28th scale to full-size. Primarily we build cars which use AI/CNN based on the Donkey framework( http://docs.donkeycar.com ).

If you want to start a DonkeyCar Project (Donkey Car), please bring your kits, and we will have experts who can help you out. If you want to just come out and hang out with the club members, pick up a BOM listing, etc you are more than welcome to join us as well.

Bring your bots, your parts, your curiosity and for fun wear a robot shirt if you can, so that we can identify you easily.
