While there is plenty of fun to be had, at the core of the RoboMaster S1 is its ability to be customised by the user, teaching programming concepts and problem-solving skills to younger users.
To get users started, there is a video course called RoboAcademy which offers programming video guides. Users can also progress through The Road to Mastery, a series of projects that the users need to solve.
While the RoboMaster is not specifically a filmmaking tool, it makes you wonder what DJI could be working on. DJI has already implemented a number of intelligent features in its drones, so why can’t they do it on the ground. Imagine a larger version of the RoboMaster, capable of carrying the Ronin-S or Ronin-2. Being able to follow a specific route, or follow a subject.
The RoboMaster S1 is currently available to order in China, Japan & the United States for $499 USD.
