Melonbotics
FTC robotics parts business I founded to create the kind of electronics and robot hardware I wanted as a competitor.
- Founded
- 2023 FTC parts
Overview
Melonbotics is a robotics parts business I solo founded in 2023 during my gap year, then continued while studying at UNSW. It grew from a simple motivation: I love robotics and electronics, and I wanted to make the kinds of FTC parts I would have liked to use when I was competing. The business now serves the FTC market through a focused catalog of encoders, joiner boards, servo add-ons, bearings, flight tags, and related robot hardware, with over 90% of sales going overseas.

- Led product design, market research, manufacturer sourcing, marketing, and media creation
- Built a product-first storefront and catalog
