โSir, ano po gamit niyong robot?โ ๐ค โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
That question hits differently now. โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
Because the truth is, the ๐
๐ฅ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฐ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐๐ญ๐จ๐ซ wasnโt built overnight. It was built from years of losses, failures, experiments, and relentless research. โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
Back in 2016, gumagawa na talaga kami ng sarili naming robots from scratch. It was always the philosophy of our team โ not just to use robots, but to truly understand them, engineer them, and innovate through them. โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
We believed that robotics is more meaningful when students learn how to create, not just copy. โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
During the rise of Tagaytay Science Robotics, we experienced great success with our DIY robots. But everything changed. โฃโฃ
โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
The ๐๐๐ฉ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ by ๐.๐. ๐๐จ๐ฐ๐๐ซ ๐๐จ๐๐จ๐ญ๐ข๐๐ฌ started dominating competitions. And honestly, it deserved the recognition. It was a strong, well-designed robot that changed the sumobot scene and became the standard many teams followed. โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
Like many others, our team struggled against it. Competitions became tougher, and we knew that if we wanted to compete at a higher level, we had to evolve. โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
But instead of copying what already existed, we challenged ourselves to build something original. โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
That became the birth of the ๐๐ซ๐๐๐๐ญ๐จ๐ซ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฃ๐๐๐ญ. โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
As early as 2020, we started serious research and development. Every part of the robot was carefully studied โ from the mechanical design, geometry, balance, sensor placement, electronics, and overall battle strategy. โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
The goal was ๐ง๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ข๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ๐๐ญ๐. โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
The goal was to ๐ข๐ง๐ง๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ญ๐. โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
We wanted to create a robot with its own identity. A robot that could eventually ๐ฌ๐ก๐๐ฉ๐ ๐ ๐ง๐๐ฐ ๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐จ๐ ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐จ๐๐จ๐ญ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ข๐ ๐ง ๐๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ข๐ซ๐ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐๐ฏ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ฉ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ข๐ซ ๐จ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ข๐๐๐๐ฌ ๐๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ. โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
Today, seeing the Predator succeed means more to us than just winning. โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
Because every Predator represents years of development, testing, failures, redesigns, and original engineering. โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
And now, in just one year, the Predator has already earned:โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
๐ 6 Championships โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
๐ Multiple podium finishes โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
๐ Various Top 8 finishes โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
More importantly, it has helped students and teams become more competitive while learning the importance of engineering, creativity, and innovation. โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
At Flouw Robotics, we hope this inspires more students to ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ข๐ซ ๐จ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ข๐๐๐๐ฌ, improve the robotics community, and push innovation forward. โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ

I think it's safe to say:โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
The era of the Predator has started โก๐ค
