This is it! After a long but funny day, the Robotiq team made its new home into the historic Voltigeurs de Québec Armoury, downtown Quebec City. As the RUC 2018 starts in a few hours time, let's take a look at the final preparation that kept our team working until late last night. One task in particular needed a immense amount of effort: Building the robot programming challenge in the main drill hall.
