This year's virtual RoboCup competition at the end of June is fast approaching, and (virtual) Bez has been getting into good shape over the past several months! The UTRA Robosoccer team competed in a mock competition a few days ago, where we had promising results compared to the other teams. We'll be using the next couple weeks for some final preparation.

The 2020 RoboCup competition in France has officially been postponed until next year due to the covid-19 pandemic. However, our team is still working hard to design a new robot and upgrade our exisiting robot, so that we can participate in future competitions. Although we can't work physically on the robot, we are doing what we can online such as creating new code and a 3D model of the new robot.

to when we got Bez standing up for the first time this year! :)
