 # 2023 AWS/UEL DeepRacer Competition (22 March)
> AWS Deep Racer is a hands-on racing competition. Competitors race 1/18th scale models of racing cars around a track, with the cars driven by machine learning models. AWS DeepRacer gives you an interesting and fun way to get started with reinforcement learning (RL). RL is an advanced machine learning (ML) technique; racers will build a model that optimises for accuracy and speed, and compete for glory.

## Location and dates
Where:  University of East London's Stratford Campus
When: 9am to 5pm 22nd March 2023.

## Meetings
If there is interest to put together a team, perpahs we might light to have an initial catch up on the week of 6 to 10 of March (based on the avaibility of everyone).


## FAQs
* AWS pipelines from previous competitions
    * "We don’t save existing pipelines used in previous Deep racers to share" ~Nathan Deane, Enterprise Account Manager
* List of RL models and the level of accuracy and speed you are expecting to see in the deployed models. 
    * "With regards to models, we have no expectation other than they run. The instruction guide in the splashthat registration page covers the modelling. We also run a workshop to help prep upon arrival. We do not expect a level of knowledge or skill that will be measured. This is an opportunity for a variety of students to come together and learn something new whilst having fun."~Nathan Deane, Enterprise Account Manager
