SuperDroid Robots History

SuperDroid Robots has been working with robots over the last 20 years and plans to keep doing if for countless more.  The world of robots has been growing in leaps and bounds.  However, the smartest robot out there is dumber than a stupid cockroach.  SuperDroid Robots plans on helping everyone understand programmable autonomous robots to help bring robotics further and further towards truly intelligent useful machines.

All the early SuperDroids (I-III) were made of wood with a very limited budget, but they all worked very well. SuperDroid I - IV were just remote control robots with various functions. Lots of knowledge was gained from these earlier models. SuperDroid V was the first robot that was designed to be autonomous and a lot of experience was gained from this too.  SuperDroid V was controlled with a PC using I/O interface cards. SuperDroid VI and SuperDroid VII were the next generation of Robots using PICs for brains. SuperDroid VI is a remote and programmable autonomous robot, but it does not know where it is - it just wanders around. SuperDroid VII is a robot that is autonomous and knows where it is.

The designers took a detour to develop BattleBots, but gained a lot of valuable knowledge about building robust mechanical and electrical systems.  Using the experience of building development SuperDroids was applied to building BattleBots. The experience of building BattleBots was then reapplied into building the SuperDroid Trekker.  Although BattleBots are not autonomous, they required very sturdy and durable construction to survive in the BattleBox. A group of engineers and mechanics/machinists got together and built the Atomic Wedgie - the Super Heavy weight Season 2 runner up. Team Half-Life Inc. was formed and the experience is still ongoing.

Now with Battlebots behind us, we have worked hard on making the SuperDroid Trekker the best and most versatile robot on the market for people to learn about programmable autonomous robots.  The SuperDroid Trekker is a great educational product.  SuperDroid Robots is also committed to continuing to deploy more products that support robot enthusiasts such as a complete line of OOPics, RS232 to TTL converters, Interface cards, TTL High Current Drivers, and much more.
