Newbie Exercises

Welcome to the exercises page! Here we will link you to all the useful things we have compiled for you to get a basic understanding of how to work on RoboCup. You can start wherever you like, though if you go in order, it will probably go a bit more naturally. Once you're done, let a veteran know and you'll be all set! If you complete all of these tasks then you're ready for a project. Let us know what interests you and we will think of something for you to do. Good luck and let us know if you have any questions.

If you're looking for ideas about possible projects or need some ideas of new things to try, check out our List of Project and Exercise Ideas, a google doc list that's frequently updated.
