BW-16 and ODIN-W262 breakout boards

RobôCIn, a Research and Development team in autonomous robotics, was founded in 2015 at the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE) in Brazil. With just 12 members in our early days, we have grown into a dedicated team of 57 individuals, supported by 5 faculty advisors, all driven by a passion for innovation and research in autonomous robotics.

Our involvement in the RoboCup Small Size League (SSL) began in 2018, and since then, we have established ourselves as a force in the competition. Through hard work and determination, we became two-time world champions in SSL Division B and recently advanced to Division A, securing a 4th place finish while receiving the "Most Improved Award." This achievement reflects our relentless pursuit of excellence and growth as a team.

Currently, we are working on an essential project for our SSL robots that involves designing a custom PCB using two Wi-Fi modules: the BW16 and the ODINW2. These modules are critical for the communication systems in our robots, allowing them to operate with precision and speed in competitive matches. The integration of both Wi-Fi modules enables us to establish a robust communication network, crucial for real-time data transmission and decision-making during matches.

Below is a video demonstrating our SSL robots:

The custom PCB we are developing is designed to fit those Wi-Fi modules in one PCB that we already have, ensuring they function seamlessly within the fast-paced environment of SSL matches. This project represents a significant leap forward in improving our robots’ communication systems, which are vital for their coordination and strategic movement on the field.

To ensure the quality and reliability of this critical component, we are seeking sponsorship from PCBWay for the manufacturing of our custom PCB. PCBWay’s proven expertise in PCB production aligns perfectly with our needs, and their support would provide us with the professional-grade components required to compete at the highest levels of the RoboCup SSL.

Your sponsorship would make a tremendous impact on our ability to innovate and improve the performance of our robots. With your help, we could focus on refining our designs and strategies, confident that the manufacturing of our PCBs is in the hands of experts.

We are enthusiastic about the possibility of collaborating with PCBWay and look forward to the chance to bring this project to life with your support. Thank you for considering our sponsorship request. Together, we can push the boundaries of autonomous robotics on the international stage.
