We've held our first Raspbuggy Robotics programming competition at the CERN IdeaSquare innovation space, with great success and invaluable support from the IdeaSquare team and the CERN Micro Club.

What do you get when you gather fifteen enthusiastic engineers and physicists and give them a very fun Robotics challenge to complete ?

Successful integration tests... but we do need an ABORT SCRIPT button !

Finally, the programming environment is fully working for Lego Mindstorms NXT !

The Raspbuggy platform is destined to be an open educational programming platform. It is designed to adapt to a large array of hardware layers, so that it can evolve through time.

In order to cope with different hardware platforms, it relies on a hardware abstraction layer called "Drivar".
