Robots that compete. Ideas that inspire.
Robots that compete. Ideas that inspire.
Won national + state competitions in First Lego League.
Built and coded a robot to complete missions reliably.
SoftSense, our innovation project, won a prize at the 2026 Korea Open.
Lebob is an international FIRST LEGO League and FIRST Tech Challenge team based in Perth, Western Australia. We engineer robots, research soft-robotic mechanisms, and ship our work as documentation others can learn from.
Eight members, two mentors, one shared workshop. Our goal is turning ideas into real, working prototypes through teamwork, and then sharing them with the rest of the engineering world.
"the workshop is home."
We competed in the Unearthed season and built SoftSense, our innovation project: a soft gripper for ROV manipulation. It won a prize at the 2026 Korea Open, and the full engineering record is now public on GitHub. The goal: software, mechanisms, and a team that work well and feel right.
Spike Prime build with custom attachments tuned to the 2025/26 Unearthed game. Modular mounts, calibrated drive base, and autonomous mission programs that score reliably under competition pressure.
Our self-sensing soft gripper for ROV manipulation, prize winner at the 2026 Korea Open. Fin Ray TPU fingers, a flooded gear drive, and grip force read from the motor's current. The CAD, FEA, firmware and docs are all public.
Living documentation of our season · robot design rationale, code architecture, attachment library, and the research notes behind every iteration we ship to the field.
Mission code and autonomous routines for our 2025/26 robot. Open-source on GitHub. Pull requests welcome from other teams looking to share strategy or tools.
Full CAD models for the robot, attachments, and SoftSense innovation prototypes. Live Onshape document · every revision logged.
Competition photos, build sessions, prototype iterations, and the moments between. The season as it actually happened.
