Below is a robot developed by The Clueless #11212 FIRST Tech Challenge team, based in San Diego, California, USA. The current team is made up of 14 members from 8 middle/high schools across the San Diego area and competes in the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) program. Over its 10-year existence, the team has achieved many successes in competitions. About the Robot and the Challenge: This robot was […] Read More

Solo content creators often face the choice of either recording from a stationary camera or having to ask help from someone who needs to hold the camera. With this robotic tripod system called Roll Cam Robotic Cameraman, this problem seems to be solved to some extent. The system makes the tripod follow whatever needs to be recorded or live-streamed autonomously by using LIDAR and computer […] Read More

Endurance robotics startup that was originally from Russia opened an office in the US, Naples, Florida and started to distribute their robot DIY SelfieBot for free.   Endurance claims that they want to help young people especially students to jump into robotics.   Endurance is bringing robotics to high school and colleges for free. As far as George Fomitchev (founder of a startup) says that […] Read More

SumoBoy is the world’s first mini sumo robotics kit that consists of two parts: a programmable fight robot & the prototyping board set.   A team of robotics experts and champions has come together to create the world’s first mini sumo robotics kit and has launched a campaign to raise money for mass production.   https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1300541966/sumoboy-arduino-based-robotics-kit-for-sport-and-e   It’s becoming more and more obvious that at […] Read More

The Spartan Robot kit includes the powerful […] Read More

Mecanum drive is a type of holonomic drive base; meaning that it applies the force of the wheel at a 45° angle to the robot instead of on one of its axes. By applying the force at an angle to the robot, you can vary the magnitude of the force vectors to gain translational control of the robot; In plain English, the robot can move […] Read More

Cellrobot is a system made up of individual robotic cells which are put together to form other functional robots. Its kickstarter campaign will start on October 13th. At the core of the robot, lies a HEART, which communicates with the other frame/muscle cells that are connected with it. Inside each CELL, there is a servo motor, a sensor and an independent MCU (Microprogrammed Control Unit). […] Read More
