This is the schedule for how the event will unfold: we kick-off the challenge with a breakfast, a keynote talk, and an information session on May 16. After that, the afternoon of May 16 is reserved for trials and team work, with technical coaches present to assist the teams in their explorations. We offer the teams long hours at the Reactor Hall but each team is free to choose how much they want to work, the goal here is just to have a good time! On May 17, we start with two invited talks and a breakfast, followed by final trials ahead of the competition. The competition itself takes place in early afternoon of May 17.
