Hackathon

Student techies, engineers, and robotics enthusiasts in the Greater Melbourne area! The IEEE student branches at Deakin, Melbourne, and Monash Universities invite you to participate — in-person or via Zoom — in a Hackathon programming competition. This day-long event will be held at the Institute for Intelligent Systems Research and Innovation (NS Building) on Deakin University’s Waurn Ponds campus.

You'll work in a team of up to three people to design and implement the high-level control scheme for a custom puck robot. You'll then get to pit your robot in sumo-style combat against identical robots programmed by opposing teams. Compete to win the overall tournament winning prize of a $AU200 gift card. Second place wins $AU100 and third place $AU50!
