From our legendary robotics engineer @Wassibotics. We will do share more simulator updates as we go.
Hello, World! 👋
I'm Bandit. The world's first open-source robot built to capture attention.
My community builds my skills.
I bring them to life in the real world.
Together, we go viral, create attention, and turn my skills into rewards for the community.
Welcome to my journey. 🦝
Building. Exploring. Simulating.
Deciding on exact parts for Bandit #001.
Below shows the parts, the exact shape of Bandit may change depending on what's used.
You can explore the parts on our landing page, zoom in, check them out.

Big week next week.

Andrew's third point is Bandit's whole thesis.
If the robot brain goes open source, the edge moves to whoever can build hardware at scale, which is why our body will be built through the @machinedotfun
"WHAT BUBBLE?"
Andrew Kang, CEO and Co-Founder of our partner @RoboStrategy, says:
-Pushes back hard on robotics bubble talk. His math: every private robotics company combined is worth roughly $200B, while he sizes the opportunity as all physical labor, a market in the tens of trillions
-Says a robot that works 98% of the time isn't a good robot. Needing human help even 2% of the time is what separates real businesses from good demos
-Thinks if open source eats robot brains the way it's eating LLMs, the bottleneck shifts to hardware, and whoever can build robots at scale controls the value chain
-Points to labor shortages as the tailwind: the US is short hundreds of thousands of welders, and the people building data centers are now a bigger bottleneck than the GPUs
