Using a powerful CPU, the Intelligent Controller can simultaneously support functions such as low-latency high-definition image transmission, AI computing, and programming development. It also coordinates transmission seamlessly to execute command signals.

Blaster

The S1 Blaster uses LED lights to outline launch trajectories for its gel beads and infrared beams. Vivid sound effects and recoil action add to the experience for an immersive battle simulation. For added safety, the Blaster uses non-toxic gel bead projectiles and even features limitations on launching rate and angle.

2-Axis Motorized Gimbal

The gimbal’s yaw/pitch rotation range is 540° × 65°, offering an expansive field of view for the FPV camera. The built-in direct drive brushless motor works together with the IMU and advanced algorithms to allow gimbal movements with a vibration control accuracy within ±0.02°, delivering smooth image transmission and a precision control experience.

Mecanum Wheels

The S1 comes with four Mecanum wheels, each with 12 rollers that allow omnidirectional movement and precision control. Front axes suspension allows for added versatility during operation.

High-Performance Motor

The S1 comes with a customized M3508I motor that features an integrated FOC ESC with an output torque of up to 250 mN•m. Linear Hall-effect sensors with advanced algorithms allow closed-loop control for added precision. Additional safety mechanisms deliver outstanding stability.

Intelligent Sensing Armor

Six intelligent armor panels cover the S1 to detect gel bead or infrared beam strikes. The referee system can analyze and communicate hit data, incorporating it into gameplay in real time.

Learn by Doing

The RoboMaster S1 bridges the digital world with the real one, bringing abstract theories to life through practical operations. The S1 supports Scratch and Python programming languages, allowing users to experience math, physics, and AI technology in a cutting-edge and inspiring way.

Scratch & Python Programming

Get an in-depth understanding of AI as you develop these skills and many more.

RoboMaster Robotics Competition

The S1 was inspired by DJI’s annual RoboMaster robotics competition. Since being founded in 2015, over 20,000 students from more than 400 schools have participated in this thrilling competition that tests wit, engineering, and problem-solving skills.

The World is Your Arena

Build your own competition arena anywhere, anytime and enjoy a variety of gameplay modes with an immersive FPV experience unlike any other. You can even record and share all the action with the touch of a button.

See the Action

Enjoy a unique and immersive driving experience with the S1's exhilarating FPV perspective.

Race

Compete against opponents on your own custom track. Unlock special skills like extreme speed by recognizing specific Vision Markers, or unleash weapons like dizziness against competitors to gain an edge and win the race.

Free-For-All

There can only be one winner in this competition of wits and speed. Use custom skills to get an edge and defeat opponents in this thrilling melee that utilizes the S1's unique referee system and intelligent sensing armor.

Conquest

Build your own competition arena and divide players into two teams. Set up your team strongholds, and the first team to occupy all of their opponent strongholds wins.

Develop Custom Skills

In any competition, wisdom is equally as important as power. The S1 enables users to apply their classroom knowledge to compile custom coding, unlocking unique functions that will surprise onlookers and defeat competitors. With its new education concept, the S1 helps users embrace the joy of learning in new and exciting ways.

Intercom

The new Intercom feature lets you enjoy voice interactions with friends nearby. You can also pre-record audio files in the RoboMaster app on your mobile device and play them on the S1, unlocking an array of exciting new possibilities.

RoboMaster App

With the dedicated RoboMaster app, multi-platform interactions and various operation methods for the S1 are supported, along with rich educational resources and several competition modes.

Multi-Platform Use

Functions and gameplay modes are currently available on iOS, Android, and Windows. The RoboMaster app even allows users with different systems to play together at the same time. 

Various Operation Methods

The S1 can be operated using a computer or a mobile device via the touchscreen, gyro, and gamepad.

Flexible Programming & Sharing

Write programs easily and apply them or share with friends instantly using the RoboMaster app.

MasterBoard

The MasterBoard displays useful information such as driving time and mileage, coding, programming time, number of completed lessons in “Road to Mastery,” highest scores for Target Practice, and more. This allows you to mark every milestone along your path to learning, and even to compare your stats and rankings to other S1 users all around the world.
