There isn't any restriction by country for winning prizes, right?

I still didn’t get the last year t-shirt. Is there any way to contact somebody responsible for this?

Hello, I signed up on your website and I've looked through the quick start guide, but I couldn't find how to build our clients with the C++17 language pack. Can someone explain how to use the language pack to run our first robots?

Update: One way is to use cmake to generate the Makefile, and then use make to generate your binary.
