RobBox
The First Steps: A Simple Prototype
The journey started with building a prototype that could move a single servo motor. From there it took me three months to get the first working upper body prototype and another four months to a bipedal version.
First Upper Body Prototype
Simplifying the Design
By removing unnecessary complexity in the shoulder joints, a second bipedal version was built. This iteration was still made entirely of wood but was more functional and efficient.

Transitioning to Metal and Competitions
The next iteration involved the use of metal parts, enhancing robustness and precision. This version competed in its first robotics competition.
A Version Manufactured from Scratch
Three years into the project, RobBox was fully manufactured from scratch and won a competition in China, highlighting its refined design and capabilities.

From Builder to Judge
Following years of development and competition success, I transitioned to judging robotics competitions, sharing my expertise and inspiring others to innovate.
