[Smallpeice](https://www.smallpeicetrust.org.uk/courses/computing-and-microelectronics/) is a compressed version of the [Student Robotics](/robotics/student-robotics/) competition run by the [Smallpeice Trust](https://www.smallpeicetrust.org.uk/) and [University of Southampton](https://www.southampton.ac.uk/). Rather than being run over 6 months like Student Robotics, Smallpeice is run over just 5 days.

[Smallpeice](https://www.smallpeicetrust.org.uk/courses/computing-and-microelectronics/) is competition in a very similar format to that of [Student Robotics]({{< relref "../student-robotics" >}}), but run by the [Smallpeice Trust](https://www.smallpeicetrust.org.uk/) and the [University of Southampton](https://www.southampton.ac.uk/).

## The Competition
|
||||
|
||||
The game for this year was called _Slots_. Teams competed to get as many of their tokens into a scoring zone in 3 minutes. Teams would also get extra points if they could get the token into a zones 'slot', an area the size of a token, raised by around 3 centimetres.

2014 is one of the only years in which we released the [full source code](https://github.com/SR-CLY/2014) for our robot, to our [GitHub organisation](https://github.com/SR-CLY/).

Just before one of our rounds, I was asked to modify some of the code very quickly, and copy it to the USB without checking (because the servers were being slow). Once the code was executed on the executed on the robot, this happened...

Welcome to the homepage of Collyer's Student Robotics Team 2015 (The 'A' Team) - Creators of _A.L.I.C.E_! Here you can see everything that goes on throughout the competition.

## The competition
|
||||
As was announced at kickstart, the game for this year is a take on the classic game mode Capture the Flag. 4 teams compete over 5 flags to move as many of them as they can into their scoring zones. The person with the most flags in their scoring zone wins.

The main change between any other year was a co-ordinate based movement system. Any input taken in from the camera was converted to co-ordinates, so we could plot our movement more accurately and allow for any immovable objects such as the internal walls.

### So, where is it?
|

Unfortunately, due to the number of features, we have decided to keep the source internal. A lot of blood, sweat and tears (not literally) went into writing this code, and it would be a shame if that were to be used to help any of our opponents.

Our entry for 2015, _Alice_, was a massive improvement over last years model, in both design, and the code for it. Before ALICE was built, the design team built us a very basic chassis using scrap parts from 2014, which allowed us to write a large amount of the code base before we even had the robot built. Originally I wanted the final chassis to be built before the end of January, so we had a lot of time to test out the design for the robot and test using the final, in reality, it was closer to the middle of march before this was a reality.

The entire chassis was made from sheets of plywood, which we laser cut in college, allowing us to be very precise in the design of the robot to make sure that all the pieces would fit together properly, making the chassis less likely to break.

Student Robotics is the the place where my development knowledge really started to grow. Thanks to the other people in my team teaching me. I had never done anything robotics related, and so when my computing teacher initially told us about it, I wasn't really interested. After I found out that my friend was also doing it, I signed up, and went along to the kickstart. From then on I was hooked, getting involved with all aspects of the development and design, as well as helping out other teams on the IRC room.

||||
|
||||
## What is Student Robotics?
|
||||
> Student Robotics is a volunteer organisation that runs an annual robotics competition for 16-18 year olds. It was originally founded by students from the University of Southampton in 2006, and now includes volunteers (“Blue Shirts”) from multiple other universities, including the University of Bristol and Grenoble INP. It primarily takes teams and volunteers from the UK, but also some from Germany and France.
|
||||

||||
There's more information on [their website](https://studentrobotics.org).

## My Entries
|
||||
Being at college for 2 years, meant I was able to enter 2 years of competitions, [SR14](2014), and [SR15](2015). We were encouraged to gain an online presence for our team, so I created a basic web page for both years. The original pages have been lost, but the content is all still there.

### Post 2015
|
||||
Unfortunately, after I left college, I also left behind entering Student Robotics as a competitor. Fortunately however, [they're always looking for volunteers](https://studentrobotics.org/volunteer/) to help run the competition itself, as a _Blue Shirt_. The college kept on working, and keep [their website](http://robotics.collycomp.uk/) updated.
