The next evolution in the industry of tabletop games – now available for pre-order on Kickstarter.

It’s time to play soccer with robots

Rzeszow, Poland (October 29, 2019) – RoboSoccer announces the next innovation in a table soccer game by introducing real robot players. With its array of wheels and autonomous maneuverability, RoboSoccer bridges the gap between a standard table soccer game and new technology. The project goes live today on Kickstarter.

The game is the answer to the growing demand for high tech toys and since its conception, was designed to be used by everyone, from adults to kids. RoboSoccer meets the demands of not just gamers, but technology geeks, sports enthusiasts, and robotics experts.

And it all started with a meeting at the pub

Vadym Melnyk, Founder at RoboSoccer, explains: “I have been sitting at a bar with my friend and observing people playing a soccer game on the console and watching a soccer match on TV. At some point, we have been started thinking of how we can put both these groups together, in the sense of their passions for games and sports competitions. And so that is how we came up with RoboSoccer. We have designed the game to be easily accessible with a portable size that can be carried anywhere. After two years of development, we can’t wait to share it with the Kickstarter community and inspire them with this unique technology.”

A game you will be taking around with you

Robots are small in size, but powerful in functionalities. RoboSoccer offers the option of robot personalization where players can choose the favorite color to contrast with opposing players. Thanks to a folding pitch and pocket-sized robots, the game can by carrying anywhere. Easy to pick up and fun to play application makes any matches simple but unique and exciting in every inch of the game.

RoboSoccer’s team has been worked for two years perfecting the robot size, reinventing mechanics, and shaping the pitch’s design. The objective was to transform human-size robots for pocked sized players so the game can be adopted at home.

RoboSoccer boasts a number of breakthrough features:

Portable. Its lightweight and compact size allow anyone to carry them in a custom reusable box.
Omni wheels allowing to move on every direction
Two (Li-Ion) batteries impact a very long working time. 1200 mAh capacity allows long hours of play
The shooting attribute can kick the ball flat or a tan angle.
Interactive gates flash in different ways when the goal is scored

WiSoccero is designed to take advantage of the exciting art of robotics by removing all the struggles involved and also adding a little more fun. It makes entering the world of Robotics as easy as possible. It begins by just playing with friends and travels to incredible areas like learning about robots and even developing amazing robotic projects.

WiSoccero is agile and versatile. Unlike traditional RC Cars, it can move in any direction without any hesitation. It employs a special wheel arrangement and omnidirectional wheels which gives it more freedom in maneuvering.In order to take advantage of this flexibility, the pack includes a customized DIY joystick kit that gives complete control of all its various features and capabilities over WiFi.

This soccer player robot is capable of kicking and passing the ball. It utilizes an electromechanical part (solenoid) and the necessary electrical drivers. This system is capable of kicking the ball with different level of force that can be controlled effortlessly.

WiSoccero needs to be powered by 3 Li-ion 18650 cylindrical rechargeable batteries (at least 2200 mAh in capacity) that under normal condition lasts for about 2 hours.

WiSoccero is based on ATmega2560 core and it has all standard Arduino Mega Headers. Also it’s equipped with WiLoader for WiFi programming and communication.

It also comes with a lot of great components for hobbyist and developers like three DC motor drivers, Gyroscope (for orientation setting), DIP switch, buzzer, two LED Strings, two configurable buttons, power and protection circuit, two rocker switches for turning circuit and motors on/off separately, isolated voltage booster circuit and power transistors for kicker mechanism.

WiSoccero is truly developer friendly. Thanks to its Arduino compatible headers and component placement, its possible to use any Arduino Mega shield such as distance sensor shield for obstacle avoidance, camera shields for autonomous operations and much more. Also you can use all these amazing shields while playing soccer. It’s truly fun!

WiSoccero Kickstarter campaign starts on February 8 for a period of 30 days by PetuniaTech. It offers special discount for the first day only. The final products will be available on June 2017. Click here to view more on WiSoccero Kickstarter campaign.
