en.Wedoany.com Reported - Dimension News, Russian ICS Holding (ИКС Холдинг) released an assembly guide for a flipper robot (робота-флиппера) in early July 2026, aiming to enable anyone interested in robot technology to build a functional combat robot with their own hands. The guide was developed by the engineering team at YADRO (Ядро), a subsidiary of ICS Holding.
The flipper robot is a common model in the 1.5 kg weight class of the international robot competition "Battle of Robots" (Битва роботов). This robot is equipped with a power platform capable of multi-directional movement and throwing actions. The guide breaks down the assembly process into steps with photos and detailed instructions, presented in a model kit-like format. The required electronic components and mechanical parts are available at specialty stores and major e-commerce platforms.
According to Russian tech media CNews and RoboTrends, the core goal of the project is to lower the barrier to entry for robot technology. The guide assumes users have no professional electronics or robotics knowledge. In addition to assembly instructions, the guide includes basic content such as welding tutorials. Beginners can receive technical support from engineers in the official "Battle of Robots" community.
ICS Holding is a major Russian technology conglomerate, with its subsidiary YADRO being a domestic developer of IT equipment and solutions in Russia. This guide aims to promote the popularization of robot technology in Russia by providing open-source hardware solutions. As one of the most influential robot competitions in Russia, "Battle of Robots" attracts a large audience. The guide enables viewers to transition from spectators to practitioners. The guide has been publicly released on major Russian social platforms such as VKontakte.
The release of this guide represents an attempt by Russian tech companies to promote STEM education. By simplifying complex robot technology into executable steps, the project provides a channel for both teenagers and adults to engage with engineering practice.
