Festival Report: BT Robotics Festival

The 2022 BT Robotics Festival was held at Adastral Park in Ipswhich, United Kingdom. BT AND ADASTRAL PARK... Ad Astra Adastral Park is where BT do all their "top secret research" into future technologies like 5G, 6G, 7G, etc. We learned that "Ad Astra" means "To the Stars" in Latin... and on another note, there's a space film with the same name, for anyone interested in yet another Brad Pitt movie (link).
