The Sky-Gripper Performed at DTR Blimp Competition

Published by Ciao on

Our newest blimp agent: the Sky-Gripper, crafted with precision by my ECE senior design team, participated in the “Defend the Republic” blimp competition.

Inspired by the iconic “The Claw” in Toy Story, the Sky-Gripper is a colossal apparatus, stretching over 7 meters with its arms fully extended. Its design is not just about scale; it’s the epitome of efficiency in autonomous defense and ball interception in the Defend the Republic Robotic Blimp Competition.
