About RoboCo
About RoboCo
RoboCo is a wholesome sandbox game about designing and building robots to serve the needs of squishy hapless humans in the world of tomorrow. Assemble bots piece by piece, rigging each creation with motors, gear, and customizable wireless controls in order to conquer tricky, open-ended challenge courses where the solutions are as varied as your engineering ingenuity. A PC-first, VR-compatible release inspired by makerspace programs and robotics organizations, RoboCo aims to ignite player interest in STEM fields by offering players the tools to unleash their problem-solving skills and creative potential. RoboCo is developed and published by Filament Games.
History - RoboCo
Originally funded by the National Science Foundation’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, RoboCo was devised as a digital robotics experience that allows players to experiment with the basics of robotics and engineering. Offering the advantages of infinite parts, easier iteration, and a significantly greater capacity for comedy, RoboCo captures the joy of robot-building while eliminating many of its frustrations.
Our hope is that RoboCo will stand apart as a sandbox game by merit of its charm, humor, surprising complexity, and quite respectable National Science Foundation pedigree.
