一、RoboMaster 2020 Referee System Software V1.1 Release Announcement
Summary: 
 1. RoboMaster 2020 Referee System Software V1.1 release notes:
Ø  Added most of the buff logics for the 2020 season and some of the logics related to the “2020 Referee System Serial Port Protocol Appendix” (including the custom UI function).
Ø  Added support for Chinese-English bilingual menu for the Main Controller Module of the Robot Side.
Ø  Optimized VTM activation mechanism (requires RoboMaster Tool 2 6.0.0.8 or above and VTM firmware 6.1.0.4 or above).
Note: When updating the Speed Monitor Module for the first time, make sure to update it independently before connecting it to the Main Controller Module to set up the Speed Monitor Module ID; otherwise, the update will fail.

Robot Side: 
1. Added support for Chinese-English bilingual menu for the Main Controller Module. 
2. Added ID setup function for the Main Controller Module and the Speed Monitor Module. See the latest version of “RoboMaster 2020 Referee System User Manual” for further details. 
3. Added Speed Monitor Module (17mm projectile) setup function to the Main Controller Module and the Server. See the latest version of “RoboMaster 2020 Referee System User Manual” for further details. 
4. Added Wi-Fi mode and a Speed Monitor Module (17mm projectile) status display to the Home screen of the Main Controller Module and optimized the menu structure. See the latest version of “RoboMaster 2020 Referee System User Manual” for further details. 
5. Added vertical calibration function for the Speed Monitor Module. See the latest version of “RoboMaster 2020 Referee System User Manual” for further details.
6. Added an uplink byte limit for the custom UI.

PC Side: 
1. Added log-in and other simple functions for new robots. 
2. Added in-competition basic logics such as attack deduction, barrel heat limit, chassis power consumption, and level-up mechanisms. 
3. Added new performance system to the client. In the current version, you can wake up the mouse by pressing “Ctrl+L” to set up the performance level. (The current client is a middle version for debugging only. The competition version is still under development. Some of the operation logics of the current version may differ from the competition version.)
The Server Client supports the latest student protocol and custom UI graph drawing function.

Known issues: 
 1. Number errors may be found in performance levels during rapid and sequential upgrades. 
2. It is recommended to use the Red Team for custom debugging and testing. Robots on the Blue Team may fail to receive communication data.

Special updates for the Student Edition 
1. The Positioning System Module is no longer deemed an important module to facilitate debugging and competition simulation. 
2. Modify the amount of natural increase energy for the Aerial robot. When the important modules of the Aerial robot are online, press the “有飞机” (“with Aerial”) button for the Red or Blue team in the battlefield control area of the server interface to obtain 15 points of natural increase energy per second. “无飞机“ (“without Aerial”) means the Aerial has left the Launching Pad. This modification should shorten the wait time for debugging.


二、RoboMaster 2020 Referee System Software V1.2 Release Announcement
Summary: Added support for the logics described in “RoboMaster 2020 Robotics Competition Rules Manual V1.1” and “2020 Referee System Serial Port Protocol Appendix” (including the custom UI function and communication between robots)
 
Robot Side:
1、   Fixed some of the wireless connection problems and enhanced its stability
2、   Fixed some of the performance problems of the student port
 
PC Client:
1、    Fixed buff logic errors in specific cases
2、    Fixed some of the logic problems during the settlement
 
Known Issue:
The Radar and Dart mechanisms are not fully developed, with some known issues.
 

三、RoboMaster 2020 Referee System Software V1.3 Release Announcement
Summary:
The RoboMaster 2020 Referee System Software V1.3 supports the logics described in the “RoboMaster 2020 Robotics Competition Rules Manual V1.2” and the “2020 Referee System Serial Port Protocol Appendix” (including custom UI and inter-robot communication functions)
 
Robot Side:
1.    Modified some of the light effects to enhance stability;
2.    Fixed some of the performance problems with the student port.
