SuperDroid Robots Profile and History

��

�

SuperDroid Robots has been working with robots over the last 25 years and plans to keep doing if for countless more.� We have developed robots from tiny pipe crawling remote robots to large 600lb autonomous robots.� We have many designs of robots that we keep in stock.� These robots can be easily and rapidly deployed as is or we can customize the stock robot frames to meet your needs.� We can also provide a completely custom robot.

�

Company History:

The world of robots has been growing in leaps and bounds.� However, the smartest robot out there is still dumber than a 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.

�

The designers took a detour from autonomous robots to develop BattleBots, and 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 current robots offered by SuperDroid Robots Inc.� 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 (340lb) Season 2 runner up. Team Half-Life Inc. was formed.� For more information on the sport go to WWW.BattleBots.com.

�

SuperDroid Robots started selling products online during the conclusion of Battlebots in November 2000.� We started with the SuperDroid Trekker the best and most versatile robot on the market for people to learn about programmable autonomous robots.� SuperDroid Robots continued to add more custom products to its online store.� SuperDroid Robots also began reselling other robot related items.�� As the business grew SuperDroid robots continued designing and building more and more custom robots and providing more stock robot kits.� The SuperDroid Trekker was the first robot kit sold online by SuperDroid Robots weighing in at about 3lbs.� Now we have a large selection of All-terrain robot kits, vectoring robot kits, remote presence robots, and treaded robot kits topping the scales at over 250lbs.�

�

Through its years SuperDroid Robots started out as Team-Half-Life Inc. incorporated in Maryland.� The company later moved to California and finally settled in North Carolina near the research triangle right outside or Raleigh as is incorporated as SuperDroid Robots Inc. in Wake County.

Company Capabilities:

SuperDroid Robots has a very large inventory of raw material, robot parts, and robot kits.� Through its years they have made many contacts with suppliers, machine shops, fabrication facilities, laser cutting, water jet cutting,� etc.� SuperDroid Robots has a complete in-house machine shop with all digital readouts, a large inventory of tooling, etc.� SuperDroid Robots has in-house plasma cutting, TIG, and MIG welding. All the equipment gives us the ability to build most projects in-house.� With our relationships with local vendors, larger projects can be affordably managed.� SuperDroid Robots uses 3D CAD for most of our design work.� We have an extensive library of standard parts that can be laser or water jet cut.� The parts are then machined and/or welded together.�
