Many of the TechnoGecko crew (formerly DiscoFish crew) have a background in energy including solar, battery, and electric. DiscoFish used gas and an engine so it only made sense for the next vehicle to put the existing skillsets to use and be all electric.
TechnoGecko uses car batteries and interfaces to make it move. We have engineers on the team that specialize in battery integration into our custom chassis, frame, and design schematic. Luckily, everyone was up for the challenge.
We did a bit of testing before we mounted the system into the “Robot Head” - the module developed during the iRobot themed event at Black Rock City, NV.
