Getting Help

Alongside this ReadTheDocs course, you will be using several online resources for getting your questions answered. The support tools for any technical Q&A will be monitored by the development team and a growing community of users like you. We are using Discourse for online support during this course.

Discourse

The XRP Discourse server provides an easy way to communicate your questions, concerns, ideas, and conversations across the world (within this robotics program). Here you will find a place to posts questions and get answers to issues that you might be having. The staff at WPI will do our best to provide timely answers to your questions, or you might find other more experienced community members jumping in and answering your questions. You will find important resources, links, event information, and office hours here.

Please follow these steps to join the Discourse server:

  1. You will want to create your account, go to https://xrp.discourse.group

  2. You can browse through all the resources on the Discourse server, if you want to post questions and participate, you need to sign up for an account. To do that, click on the Sign Up button in the top right corner of the window and enter your account information.
