W.A.F.F.L.E.S.

A W.A.F.F.L.E.S. robot, number 4476, on the competition field

Every robot we have built

One a year since 2013, each designed and built in under two months.

Every robot carries a name.

Since 2014, we have named our robot each year after a different person in need of a stem cell transplant. We share their stories at events to spread awareness and encourage people aged 17 to 35 to join the registry to help find life-saving matches.
