Dacraptool — Georgian Championship Sumo & Battle Robots

Who We Are

We are Dacraptool (დაკრაფთული) — a competitive robotics team of 5 engineers from the Free University of Tbilisi, Georgia. Four of us are Electrical and Computer Engineering students and one is a Building Systems Engineer. We design, build, and compete with robots entirely from scratch — from circuit design and PCB layout to mechanical fabrication and software.

What We Built

Last season we competed at the Georgian National Robotics Championship with two robots:

• 0.5 kg Sumo Robot — our flagship machine. It won 2nd place at the national championship and became one of the event highlights, drawing strong attention from the crowd and organisers for its striking design, reliability, and exciting fight scenes.
• 5 kg Battle Bot — our combat robot, which went 2–1 in its division in its debut season.

Both robots feature custom-designed PCBs handling motor control, sensor arrays, power management, and logic — engineered entirely in-house by our team.

Upcoming Season — 2026

This April we are competing in three categories at the Georgian National Robotics Championship:

• 0.5 kg Sumo Robot Battle
• 3 kg Sumo Robot Battle
• Line Follower Robot Championship

Each robot requires clean, reliable, professionally manufactured PCBs. High-quality PCB production is critical to our performance — tight tolerances, reliable signal integrity, and a finish that matches the level we build at.

Our Content

We are also launching our content channels, documenting the full build process — from schematics and PCB design to assembly, testing, and competition day:

We are a young team of five engineers from the Free University of Tbilisi, and we are deeply passionate about every detail of what we build — from the circuit traces on our PCBs to the finish on our chassis. For us, robotics is not just a competition, it is how we grow as engineers and push ourselves far beyond what the classroom can teach.

PCBway's support would mean more than just sponsored boards. It would mean that each member of our team gets real, hands-on experience working with professionally manufactured PCBs — learning not just how to design circuits, but how to build things that perform at a high level under real competition conditions. Quick and reliable prototyping would allow us to iterate faster, test more ideas, and develop stronger engineering intuition across the whole team.

This season we are competing with three robots — our 0.5 kg Sumo, our new 3 kg Sumo, and a Line Follower — each with fully custom-designed PCBs handling everything from motor control and power management to sensor arrays. Our sumo robot was already noticed at last year's championship not only for how it fought, but for how it looked and how reliably it performed. That attention to quality is something we carry into every build.

Beyond competition, we are documenting everything — the designs, the mistakes, the breakthroughs — on our YouTube and TikTok channels, so that other young engineers in Georgia and beyond can learn from our journey.

We would be proud to carry the PCBway name on our robots and in our content as we grow. We are just getting started, and we would love for PCBway to be part of that story from the very beginning. Thank you for supporting student engineers from Georgia! 🇬🇪
