We appreciate the RedBackBots of RMIT School of Computing Technologies dialing in to participate in RoboCup Federation 2022 remotely! And thank you to all of the SPL teams that provided robots and local support to help make this happen.

Open Day was enjoyable as always. It was great to show what my robotics students have been up to this past year.

I am pleased to be apart of this upcoming panel discussing the future of the university campus at RMIT in responding to a new COVID normal.

It was great to speak yesterday about how RMIT delivered a new 1st year computing experience during COVID moving to an active class experience, and my perspective as part of the team.

My father has found an excellent position.

Thank you to our league's Executive Committee (Rico, Katie, and Rudi) for guiding the league for another year. After two terms (7 years due to the pandemic), Rico must roll off of the Executive Committee. The league is incredibly thankful for his efforts pushing us forward!

Thank you to all of the team referees that worked hard to make this tournament as fair as possible!

Check out my "special" appearance of my course at #essai in the Slovenian national news broadcast from a couple days ago! (In English as well). Well, it's more the robots, though it's fantastic to see RMITCIAIRI represented. 24ur.com/video/62994864

OpenDay was a great day with our RoboCup Soccer robots! Still a long way to go before we're competing against FIFA champions though!
