Would love to see a virtual event. Seems fitting considering how much online streaming and participation has been a part of ROSCon.

Bonus points for exploiting corner cases in the physics simulation to make the Kraken eat the opponent’s robot!

Thank you for the update! Since I have been participating steadily since ROSCon2014, I was very excited and expected about this ROSCon2020. Although the ROSCon2020 was postponed to next year, I think this is a very brave decision. I deeply sympathized with the decision of the ROSCon executive committee, and I hope that next year’s ROSCon will be mere fun, bigger, and more people will be together!

This sounds fun. Maybe a plugin to create damage by removing pieces of you robot as you play and get hit?
