On Saturday, 01.12.2018 it was time once again for a jRobots Competition.
We have organized another JRobots, where you can show your programming skills at controlling

Again we look forward to our Egg Drop Contest as part of the Uni live event.
On June 11, we again had a jRobots event.
For this event, Wolfgang Scholz of iteratec and Raymund Fülöp of Cipsoft came to Passau to hold the competition. Again, the fights were interesting due to a changed ruleset of the framework, which caused the participants to think of new algorithms. New features were a new weapon and a different behaviour of the sensors.

By now it’s already a small tradition: the award-winning programming advent calendar of the IEEE Student Branch Passau. The 4th time in a row there will be a daily programming task set during advent time. Everyone may participate and the are cool prizes waiting.
Starting from the first day of December there will be a new task behind the door every day. These tasks include problems from various fields of computer science and range from easy to hard.
The IEEEXtreme is a yearly international programming competition
hosted by IEEE, where students all over the world try to solve programming challenges over the course of 24 hours. Four teams of three students form Passau took part in this year’s
competition. Further we were joined by two teams from the neighboring student branch at the OTH Regensburg.
To see our participants at work, cracking down on the problems (and
vice versa), watch this timelapse.
Unser Sponsor msgGillardon war am 28. Mai mit einem Workshop zu
Kanban-Systemen bei uns zu Gast. Bei agilen Entwicklungsmethoden wird auch besonders auf Effizienz geachtet werden, sodass keine Ressource ungenutzt bleibt. Es wird also nur beim Vorgänger im Produktionsfluss angefragt, wenn eine Nachfrage besteht. Dies wird im Prinzip auch bei Scrum eingesetzt. Erst wenn ein Team seine Aufgaben in einem Sprint erledigt hat, bekommen sie Neue. Der Scrum Master ist in diesem Fall der Kanban-Regelungskreis und regelt die Arbeitslast zwischen Team und Product Owner.
This year, again as part of the Campusfest, our 6. Eggdrop Contest
recently took place. Despite of rainy weather in the afternoon of May 23 14 teams took the challenge of constructing a device called “Eggdropper” to protect a raw egg from breaking while falling from a height of 20 meters onto the ground. To lift the Eggdroppers into the air a turntable ladder was used which was provided by the volunteer fire department of Passau which also allowed the participants to enjoy the view of Passau from above.
