Field Technical Documentation

This page serves as a directory for common resources related to field mechanics, networks, and overall setup. As always, the SSL Rules are the authoritative source, but many items are left formally unconstrained.

Finding a Space

The following page provide a brief list of considerations for finding appropriate lab space to host an SSL team or an SSL event.

  • Lab Space (coming soon!)

  • Competition Space (coming soon!)

Mechanics and Materials

The following pages assist with materials and camera selection.

Layout

Two reference layouts are provided. The competition layout reflects what’s expected to be found at a global competition, though smaller events may omit some functionality. The lab layout reflects a more realistic and modest setup seen at most university or community labs for weekly practice.

Compute and Physical Network

See the compute page for recommended machine specifications and brands.

See the network pages below for detailed descriptions of competition networks and home lab networks.
