It all started when we decided that we wanted to try to send a solar powered robotic boat from Los Angeles to Hawaii. We wanted to do something cool that had never been done before.
While researching components for the project, we realized that the limiting component was the thruster. We needed something that could resist saltwater, operate continuously, and be efficient for months on end. Scouring the internet for options, we found hobbyists, students, researchers, and marine robotics companies that were in need of an affordable thruster.
We set out to design a thruster unlike anything available. We came up with the T100 Thruster, launched in a 2014 Kickstarter campaign. Since then, Blue Robotics has developed hundreds of low-cost enabling components to open the door for others looking to explore, innovate, and create.
