Summary

The UBC SailBot team from the University of British Columbia has been selected as a Top Drop by DigitalOcean, and will utilize their services to track and manage their robotic sailboat's journey across the Atlantic Ocean. The team consists of over 40 students who design, manufacture, test, and race high-performance robotic sailboats, with a focus on complex programming, advanced electronics, and sailing. With a perfect score in the 2013 International SailBot Championships, the UBC SailBot team has proven their ability to take on the best teams in the world. They will use DigitalOcean's droplet for tracking, blogging, project management, and testing, with plans to cross the ocean autonomously from Newfoundland to Ireland. The team is passionate about complex programming, advanced electronics, and sailing, and sees DigitalOcean as a reliable platform that meets their needs for speed and price.
