CHEERS OCEANEERS! September 9th, 2026
This month is about the RobotX Challenge! Our main presentation is from Alex Szeto and Team Inspiration.
The team will discuss their RobotX preparation for the 2026 competition in Singapore. They are pre-qualifying the drone, boat, and sub to prepare for the competition. They will go over some of the technical details and communication approach, and they are looking for feedback from the communities.
