Attachment Design Blogs

Here at Micromelon, we like to experiment just how far we can push the capabilities of our rover. Read through how we have reached for the limits of crazy projects with some of the special attachments we have made along the way. From sophisticated mechanisms, to complex coding, these design blogs will take you through our process of bringing attachments to life.
