DJI RoboMaster S1

The world´s largest drone manufacturer, DJI, is venturing into yet another market, robots. The new DJI RoboMaster S1 is a robot designed specially to introduce children and adults to educational technology. The camera-equipped remote-controlled car can be driven using a mobile app, or coded to move on its own. It’s equipped with 31 sensors that help it map its environment, and it can move in 360 degrees thanks to cleverly-designed wheels. The S1 also features high-performance motors, a gimbal, infrared and bead blasters, a speaker and, of course, a tiny camera that can shoot HD video at up to 1080p. This is also a DIY project, meaning you’ll need to build it from the ground up, piecing together its 46 various parts before you can take it for a spin. The S1 is nearly fully customizable and be programmed to do your bidding in scratch. It has a maximum speed of 8MPH, and its removable battery can last about 30-35 minutes on a single charge. DJI hopes you use this to create your own courses, races and host your own robot battle with friends. watch the video below
