The first Cybathlon competition took place in Zurich, Switzerland, in October 8th 2016. It was an amazing experience for all athletes, developers, and public. Our pilot, Estevão Lopes, pictured in the photo below, finished 8th in the overall competition. Thank you for inspiring dedication, Estevão! And thanks for all our supporters!
