DJI is a company best known for its camera-equipped flying drones, but the RoboMaster S1, born from DJI’s annual RoboMaster robotics competition, is less about capturing compelling aerial footage and more about inspiring young minds and steering them towards a career in STEM. The robot looks like an advanced RC toy with its omni-directional wheels, but also features a live-streaming video camera, 46 programmable components including intelligent sensors, and a pellet-firing turret on top for autonomously hunting down other bots. It’s a highly-capable bot that’s also highly customizable, which helps explain its $550 price tag.
