ROBOTKO Robot Fighting Platform
I began developing ROBOTKO, a Pygame Zero‑based framework for controlling Raspberry Pi‑powered combat robots. The system targets small, arena‑style bots and includes a sensor‑driven scoring mechanism.
Teaching focus
Students concentrate on the high‑level instructions and core robotics concepts, while I handle the lower‑level hardware interfacing and game logic.
Workflow for students without a computer
- Phone‑based coding: Students can write or edit their Python scripts on a smartphone using any code editor app.
- Git‑based deployment: The code is committed and pushed to a shared Git repository; the robot automatically pulls the latest commit.
- Web preview: A companion website visualizes the robot’s movements in real time, allowing students to see the outcome of their code from any device with a browser.
