01 / THE BIG IDEA
Big robots.
Backyard legends.
Meet your next
favorite rival.
A self-balancing robot. A foam-ball turret. A personality you can’t help rooting for. Gyropup is the beginning of a robot family that rolls, dodges, and battles alongside you.
Our big idea: 50-pound-class robot playmates for foam-ball battles, target challenges, and backyard missions. Explore the simulated prototype today while we work toward the real thing.
Meet Gyropup in the simulator ↗The ambition is 50-pound-class play. The current CAD design is 37.5 kg (83 lb), and weight reduction is part of the engineering ahead.
Roll with your rival.
Two wheels. Moving legs. A whole lot of character.

Less scrolling.
More robot.
Spin it around. Try the controls. Replay a physics run. Explore the foam-ball turret and see what makes Gyropup tick.

02 / AN EXPERIMENT YOU CAN EXPLORE
Built by
autonomous systems.
Robots made with the help of AI, from software to hardware. Gyropup is a Valpatel Software demo of autonomous engineering: agents write code, develop CAD, run simulations, and document their progress—with human direction and review.
Design it.
Real components, real CAD, and a growing record of engineering decisions.
Explore the design ↗Test it.
Simulated motion, balance, and loads help us find the problems before the prototype.
See the evidence ↗Build. Learn. Repeat.
Parts lists, printable files, and progress reports live together as the design evolves.
Inside the workshop ↗You're seeing the workshop, too. Work-in-progress pages, unfinished ideas, and failed tests are part of the story. CAD and simulation are predictions; physical validation is still ahead. Gyropup is a development project, not a toy available to buy.
03 / THE SYSTEMS BEHIND THE PLAY
Serious software.
Ridiculous possibilities.
A real-world playground for the Valpatel software stack. We’re bringing autonomous development, robot coordination, and AI characters toward one playful idea.
INTEGRATION ROADMAP · WHAT WE’RE BUILDING TOWARD
Tritium
Coordinate the arena.
Maps, robot commands, sensors, and simulated missions: the foundation for connected robot play.
ROBOT COORDINATIONGraphlingsBring the personality.
AI creatures with identities, memories, and evolving personalities inspire the companions we want our robots to become.
AI CHARACTERSGraphDoneConnect the work.
A shared graph of goals, dependencies, and progress helps people and AI agents build toward the next milestone.
HUMAN + AGENT WORKFLOWThese are the systems we’re bringing together. The public simulator is a standalone demo; connected hardware and character integrations are still ahead.
COME FOR THE ROBOT. STAY FOR THE BUILD.
