Our blog post about Formula Pi

Hi all,

We'd like to share our Formula Pi experience we wrote in our blog:
http://lamboratory.com/2017/01/23/rasperras-del-infierno-in-formulapi/

We are enjoying Formula Pi and we're watching the semifinal today to see if we get a place in the final.

We talk there a little about our strategy and ideas. Check it out and share your comments!

Good luck everyone for the final rounds and see you in the Summer Season too ;)

Cheers,
RasPerras del Infierno

Great write up

Sorry to hear that the AI didn't work out; that was a very exciting project to attempt. Perhaps if the borgs are fitted with beefier hardware in the future then you could try that one again. It proved to be a great final match and I was very please to be able to watch it live for a change. ;)

Here's hoping we all get to fight it out in the next season.

All the very best,
Geoff

Next season

It might just be so, that we are running a Pi3 in the next season. That would give some beefier hardware for the AI side of things :) We might also run a few more testing sessions. I think we will have some additional ones for flipping robots over when it goes wrong, some for neural networks etc.
Please if you have any suggestions, let us know via the surveymonkey or just email us :)

Pi3 :)

The Pi3 should help a lot with the processing power for a neural network. We think it can work out, so we'll keep working on it.

With the pi zero:
· neural network = -1 full lap
· simple code = 3rd place!

We'll send the suggestions by mail for the next season. We didn't buy the Kickstarter for both seasons, but I have no idea why!! For sure we'll buy a new ticket, so see you soon back in the racetrack
