Dear SSL-community,

as in the past years we are very happy to announce our entry for the Open Source Award. By now there is a one-stop shop to get it all: https://github.com/TIGERs-Mannheim We are doing a complete and full release of everything we have, including electronics, mechanics, and our full AI. Here is a brief description of what has changed.

Mechanics: The kicker and dribbler have been slightly updated to be more robust. The dribbler now allows prolonged periods of dribbling with higher torque. The release includes the full robot mechanics.

Firmware: The build system has been changed to CMake and the folder structure has been reorganized. The dribbler control algorithm now allows better current and speed control. Test and model identification methods have been cleaned up and improved. The release also includes our wireless protocol and base station firmware.

Software (AI): The heart and brain of our team, the central control software "Sumatra". Of course, compatible with the simulation protocol. So you can test your AI against ours locally. Watch out for some serious dribbling moves which will make you sweat ;)

In case you are missing any information or if you are just curios, contact us on Discord or write us an email.

Tigertastic Greetings, TIGERs Mannheim
