Mini 4WD – Tamiya Item #18656 Roborace (MA)

DESCRIPTION
Roborace is an exciting new development in the world of motorsports testing the limits of autonomous driving in electrically powered vehicles. This Mini 4WD racer kit replicates the exciting DevBot 2.0 as seen from the creators of Roborace. The DevBot 2.0 racecar runs on the Nvidia DRIVE platform which is designed to aid the development process for cars in the Roborace series. The hardware is managed centrally and is the same for each team meaning that the only differentiator is the AI driver software the teams develop for the competition. Furthermore it can be driven by a human or AI driver meaning engineers can explore the relationship between man and machine for assisted and autonomous technologies.
This exciting and cutting-edge race car appears on the Mini 4WD PRO model platform which is based upon the aerodynamically efficient MA Chassis!
