After dinner, attendees drew numbers and formed teams for the after-dinner robot challenge and battles.
The bot battle was amazing, check out the video at the bottom of this page. The newly formed teams were provided a kit with instructions that for assembling the robots. Once assembled, the bot battles began. I must say, adding this challenge to the event really strengthens the connections attendees make here. The teams work together and compete against each other all in the spirit of good fun.
As day three began, the energy was high and the event carried on. The day was full of classes designed to help inspire the great minds of our industry. At the end of the day, Altium’s Judy Warner interviewed Bil Hurd, designer of the Commodore 128. Bil shared dozens of “war stories” from the early days of personal computers.
At the end of his talk, he gave away a new, autographed Commodore 64 game to the first person to explain the significance of a penguin in a Monty Python skit (it explodes), and our own Editor Andy Shaughnessy took home that prize. Trivia knowledge comes in handy sometimes. Other raffle winners took home all kinds of cool electronic prizes.
All in all, this event is one that will continue to grow and do well. As in 2017, Altium is planning another AltiumLive Europe in January of 2019. This event will take place in Munich, Germany. As the official Media sponsor of the AltiumLive events, we congratulate the entire Altium team on another successful event.
