ETH Robotics Club

We are excited to announce @virtuals_io as a sponsor of HACK2026, the ETH Robotics Club’s premier robotics hackathon. Virtuals Protocol are lending us two Unitree G1 humanoid robots for the hackathon and helping make the live robot boxing tournament possible with their hardware. Throughout the hackathon, participants will also interact directly with the robots, building and experimenting with humanoid systems in ways most hackathon participants rarely get the chance to experience. This is exactly the kind of support that allows us to push the boundaries of what a robotics hackathon can be. Thanks to the team at @virtuals_io for making it possible. More announcements soon.

Rerun 0.30.0 is out and its 🔥🔥 This release brings significant improvements for handling of larger recordings, scalar plotting, MCAP support, and making it easier to extend the Viewer without forking. Let's dig in 👇

Super cool use case of robot learning

@Ysqander @DominiqueCAPaul We are open for builders all the time

@DominiqueCAPaul @ethroboticsclub Nice space. Do you have access all the time or just when club is open?
