Work is under way to prepare the venue being used for STEAM bots for events over the summer. I am just re-using the photos I took, for now at least.
The Lego Robots and Arena are the OFFICIAL builds have gone on Tour. The video below is from a previous event run by previous owners of the kit Mike has obtained.
STEAM Café is NOT affiliated with Warrior bots
If you would like more information on what is being planned, Please CONTACT STEAM Café & Discovery Centre DIRECTLY
This is my personal blog, where I am just sharing some information as I am involved but cannot speak for the STEAM Venue or provide additional information.

Potential Ozone Depletion From Satellite Demise
Potential Ozone Depletion From Satellite Demise During Atmospheric Reentry in the Era of Mega-Constellations
Interesting paper that was published in Geophysical research letters looking at potential damage to the Ozone layer from Satellites re-entering the Earths atmosphere and burning up. The specific issue seems to be related to the Aluminium Oxidizing, and then this travels down to the Ozone layer and causes a chemical reaction.
Give the number of Satellites in orbit and the importance of the Already fragile Ozone layer, this is not good news.

New tachyon study
New tachyon study could unlock the secrets of time travel and reality
Interesting article published on Europe Says. I have asked on Mastodon where the link to this was posted, that if Tachyons have mass, if this should be factored in to the missing mass, which I think we are suggesting is filled with Dark Matter. So, another part of the hidden universe that has some mass. We are trying to account for where all the mass is located.
I don't fully understand the physics behind all this though.
