OR apply for free tickets by entering a team/idea here.
Finally, we want to feature your startup on the new (coming soon) Robot Launchpad website. Email me OR here’s a form to fill in! (Thanks Saurabh for taking time to create it!)
The second part of the form helps us find out how many people would like Robot Launchpad to provide workspace or other facilities. If you ask for it, we might get it. We’re kind of magic that way.
