RT Corporation is going to release two versions of the Stack-chan assembly kit at the end of July! Starting from today, we have begun accepting pre-orders on our web store. We also offer international shipping.

The options for the assembly kits include both the full kit containing the indispensable M5Stack for Stack-chan, and a version without the M5Stack.

Please choose either of the two types according to whether you already have an M5Stack or not. The stocked-up kit arrives complete with a servo and battery, so you can start assembling your Stack-chan from the day it arrives.

* M5Stack containing Stack-chan RT Ver.β Full Kit 25,300 yen (tax included).

M5Stack-less Stack-chan RT Ver.β 18,150 yen (tax included).

Corporate customers who wish to buy multiple items together, please contact us via the inquiry form.

RT Corporation has recently been in the news with 'Foodly', a humanoid collaborative robot for food factories, but in the past, it has created a mascot robot 'Neko Tenchō' capable of hugging humans, positioning itself as a company with communication robots as one of its identities.

We believe that selling Stack-chan from RT is very meaningful, as it aligns with RT's mission to "realize a lifestyle with robots". We hope that spreading Stack-chan will help to foster a culture of communication robot development in Japan and abroad.

Meanwhile, Stack-chan is characterized by its open community. We aim for a relationship where everyone is a user and can also become a developer, rather than specific individuals or companies developing robots alone. We always look forward to seeing the culture of 'individual developers making unique improvements to the hardware and selling them as kits'.

While I, the creator, am involved in the development of 'Stack-chan RT Ver.', it is not officially branded as such. We hope you will welcome it as one of the many Stack-chans. We're looking forward to seeing all of the 'best Stack-chan' creations you come up with and share.

Of course, 'Stack-chan RT Ver.' will continue to be enhanced in the future. Let's enjoy creating it together!

This article is a follow-up to the previous one. Although preparation for the release of the kit is progressing slowly, I am happy to be able to report on our progress.
