Hi, My name is Walt Perko ...
I am the designer/developer of the R2Pv1 robot ...
...
I am looking for a business partner to help move into the next stage of business development ... building a robot factory. Please send me an email if this project sounds interesting enough for funding ... wperko@brainless.org
I have been developing a very large robotic gaming project that evolves the use of several different types of robots to be complete. It is centered on one particular robot scheme that I call the “R2P” or “Ready to Play” concept. Rather than kids trying to build a box of parts into a robot, learn complicated programming or having to figure out how the electronics work ... they simply plug in a battery and play with robots. The learning starts as young as 4-years old and continues through the college level classroom. As they grow and learn and understand more and more about robots and robotic devices as as they can they will then begin to disassemble the robots to explore more inside to repair, modify, customize and design their own robots.
Basically I want to sell a reverse or an inverse robot kit.
In preschool kids will learn how to play with the different types of robots and learn how the robots work while playing robot games. Then as the kids learn to read (encouraged by the preflight to make their robot a better competitor) they learn how reading, writing and arithmetic are an important part of life itself. Later as high-school or college students the kids study how the electronics work ... how the mechanics work ... about the software algorithms and on how to assemble their own R2Pv1 type gaming robot.
But all the while the users are playing the dozens of games with their R2Pv1s and developing skills they will need for their future jobs such as; mining, archeology, caving, ocean exploration, medicine & surgery, planetary exploration, even the military etc...
The users will customize their R2Pv1s as they need to repair and/or change teams. They will customizing as in the colors, materials, lights, skins, engraved names on the robot etc. even deciding upon using a high-speed wheelbase or tractor base or how many legs the robot might use.
This is a short video showing off a few of the R2Pv1 gaming robots;

A robot is NOT box of parts and should NOT require Adult Help or Supervision to become functional.
