Company
RoboMaster S1 is one example of a DIY project. Previously, DJI and its partners launched the Ryze Tello compact programmable quadcopter. This was the first and quite successful experience of a drone manufacturer. Many teenagers and even adult pilots quite liked the idea of mastering unmanned technology and programming.
RoboMaster Software
RoboMaster is also a kind of drone, only ground-based. The product looks like a tank with a high level of mobility, as well as a variety of additional elements, for example, 21 LEDs. You can use Scratch and Python languages for the robot’s programming. That is, there are a lot of opportunities for a future programmer here.
