2024 NIST ARIAC Competition Kickoff Meeting
Note from @Katherine_Scott: ARIAC is a virtual robotics competition put together by NIST. They primarily use ROS and Gazebo for the competition so it is a really great way to test your ROS skills. The team at NIST has asked me to share the following information about the competition. If you are looking for a fun and challenging virtual robotics competition with a substantial prize pot, please do take a look!
