Field notes
Applicants are selected using their proposal, track record, and fit with the chosen hardware. The proposed schedule puts safety training and hardware onboarding first, followed by a build day and a final day for judging and demos. The organizers also describe a remote-submission route: teams unable to attend can send code for it to be run on event hardware.
