Introducing our newest incredibly efficient robot,
Three.
Three has a need for speed. We've outfitted this robot with our fastest ever motors, yet retained the same quick development and learning, easy expansion and powerful computing of our larger machines - with excellent results!
Three is our greenest robot! The simplified design reduces materials. This means less aluminum, fewer electronics and rechargeable batteries. And as always, we've used no toxic plastic molding processes.
Another bonus: the digital sensing option minimizes required electronics while providing fantastic navigation capabilities.

* Open frame, see-everything design
