Give robots a league
of their own.
Head-to-head sports. Spectacular stunts. A new kind of athlete with a whole lot of personality.
Meet Chappie. The open robot with a wild side.
Built for sports, stunts, and the stuff you can’t look away from. Let’s bring him to life.
Some robots clock in.
Chappie shows up to put on a show.
Our ambition is an open alternative to closed humanoid platforms: a robot that can take the field, attempt the outrageous, take a hit, and get back up. Built with the people who want to see it happen.
Head-to-head sports. Spectacular stunts. A new kind of athlete with a whole lot of personality.
We aim to open the software and model interface so builders can bring different AI models and create new skills.
Our design goal: replaceable armor, modular parts, and a body engineered for the next round. Durability will be proven in testing.
The virtual Chappie already has moves. Take the original animated rig for a spin while we work toward a robot you can meet in the real world.
Every contribution moves the idea forward.

THE HONEST PART These are proposed, conditional rewards. Hardware, experiences, and delivery dates depend on funding, engineering, and published fulfillment terms. A robot allocation is an ambition, not a guaranteed delivery or a prize draw. Contributions are not equity.
A moonshot broken into milestones.
Proposed funding gates, with progress shared in public.
Core team, mechanical feasibility, and a public prototype plan.
Working hardware, repairability tests, and controlled demonstrations.
Pilot production, developer tools, and the first robot events.
Scale the team, manufacturing, and a global entertainment ecosystem.
The animated virtual Chappie is real and interactive. The physical entertainment robot is a proposed development project. We have not demonstrated a physical prototype or validated performance claims.
We intend to publish software, model interfaces, and selected hardware documentation under suitable open licenses. The precise scope and licenses will be published before release. There is no hardware or software repository release to claim yet.
No. These are proposed benefits conditional on funding, engineering feasibility, availability, and final fulfillment terms. A contribution is not a robot purchase, an equity investment, or entry into a raffle.
Cash and supported stablecoin checkout are prepared through Stripe. Only verified payments count toward funding. Your account links contributions to your history; public leaderboard participation is optional. Checkout is closed until payment processing and campaign terms are ready.
Supporters can propose challenges, discuss design decisions, and help prioritize ideas. Formal governance is still to be defined; contributions do not confer ownership or binding voting rights.
