Expanded DJI RoboMaster S1 Key Features:

Educate

Bridging the gap between the digital and the real, the RoboMaster S1 has the ability to bring abstract theories to life through practical operations. By supporting high-end Scratch and Python programming languages, you can discover and explore the place of mathematics, science, physics, and programming within the wide world of robotics. Further to this, enhanced programming blocks now enable you to experiment with a series of new functions and interactions. This includes the Scratch blocks, which allow your S1 to turn at T-junctions and intersecting roads. You can even write a song for your brand new S1, with upgraded Scratch and Python interfaces integrated into the speaker module.

To support you on your robotics journey, Road to Mastery offers project-based courses to enhance your understanding of programming languages. These range from robotics applications to AI technology, with varying projects to suit your individual level. If you prefer a back-to-school feel, then be sure to visit the RoboAcademy and discover a curriculum full of videos and intuitive programming guides.

Customise

Let your imagination run wild with 46 customisable components, allowing you to learn and engage with the tactile S1 system as you build a battle-worthy bot, on-hand robot assistant, or a stream-lined racing machine. With six integrated PWM ports and one SBus port, you can further upgrade your RoboMaster S1 with varying accessories. To operate, the S1 supports either a remote controller with SBUS protocol, or an external development board with complex programmable codes.

But it doesn’t stop there, with the new Intercom feature encouraging voice interactions with nearby friends and family. You can even pre-record audio files in the intuitive RoboMaster app on your mobile device and play them directly through the S1. The RoboMaster app also gives you the power to perform multi-platform interactions and access varying operational modes. This includes an abundance of educational resources, as well as several key competition modes.

Drive

Discover the in-depth world of AI technology with the DJI RoboMaster S1. It has the capacity to recognise gestures, sound, and even other S1 robots. Vision Markers further create ‘Traffic Lights’ and various other obstacles for the S1 to avoid, with self-written programs allowing the S1 to drive automatically and instinctively execute complex tasks on the go. By doing so, you are actively learning about the importance of mathematical principles and motion mechanics involved in robotic control.

The S1 further consists of six programmable artificial intelligence modules, allowing you to hone your skills and experiment with different commands. DJI have also integrated an impressive FPV camera that affords a fully-immersive perspective when driving your RoboMaster S1. You can compete with friends, build custom tracks, interact with Vision Markers to game special achievements like Extreme Speed, and even unleash digital attacks on your competitors as you drive.

Battle

To put your coding, mechanics, and robotics to the test, you can create your own competition arenas and enjoy a range of gameplay modes with the immersive FPV experience. You can even record footage and share instantly with friends, showcasing your skills to the world. With only one winner, it is imperative that you make good use of custom skills to get an edge on your opponent. With the S1’s intelligent sensing armour and intuitive referee system, rulings remain fair and the right winner is always crowned. The DJI RoboMaster S1 is a really exciting piece of kit, encouraging you to embrace the fun of learning in a truly unique and hands-on way.
