Howdy,
Before i started CircuitMess in 2017 with our first Kicstarter campaign for MAKERbuino, I was making robots in my free time and competing on robotics competitions called RoboCup Rescue.
This competition was basically like some kind of a DARPA robotics challenge competition for kids.
Basically, the goal of the competition is to make a small robot that's going to complete a series of tasks that include:
- line tracking
- obstacle avoidance
- object recognition
- transportation of some kind of an item (you usually need to *rescue* something, that's why the competition is called "Robocup Rescue")
This is what the robots we were creating looked like:
I've even found a couple of old videos from the competitions.
These competitions made a huge impact on me and they're probably what made fall in love with technology and open my own business that's going to teach other people electronics.
Wheelson is a sort of a tribute to all the fun I had making robots when I was in high-school and it's our first commercial product that teaches people robotics so I'm really hyped about it.
This is the first drawing of Wheelson I've made in 2019:
And the first prototype looked something like the drawing:
