Dash Robotics

It's official, we'll be showing off NEW ROBOTS at Maker Faire Bay Area 2018! We were humbled by the turnout last year and can't wait to see you all again

"It's definitely a unique product. I love the fact that it's this very inexpensive material and it just makes this great toy.
The really cool thing, the thing I really appreciate about it, is the biomimicry. The Kamigami bugs are interesting because they really are buglike. When we talked to them about the bipedal kind of nature, I was actually very skeptical. I was like, how do you make this thing work, not tip over, you know? And these guys were really amazing. They came up with this product that I think is pretty unique. So, the biomimicry, taking that kind of work that's being done at DARPA (laughs) and figuring out how to put it in a really cheap, inexpensive toy, that a child can build; that's really cool, I think."
