Codyssey: A playful control system workshop
summary
Three hour workshop that teaches the control system programming model by having attendees implement a function that runs dozens of times a second, build simple autonomous agents in Python inside a visual environment, and compete to solve nine challenges within about two hours. Mentoring during the exercise, followed by live‑coding of solutions and examples of real world applications. Focus is on concrete code, observable behavior, and whether the agents actually succeed.
