About Us

We started Micromelon Robotics to build educational tools and resources to make teaching engineering and robotics in schools simpler and more aligned with the attributes required by industry.

We work on "robotics" - bringing software and hardware together to make something amazing - with applications including after-school clubs, farming robots, and IoT devices.

Meet the Founders

Adam Stacey

Co-Founder

Adam builds the software that powers Micromelon, including the Code Editor, Robot Simulator, and everything in between. He came from computer vision research and teaching software engineering at university, and now spends his time writing code, running school programs, and helping students figure out why their rover is going in circles.

Tim Hadwen

Co-Founder

Tim designs and builds the Micromelon Rover itself: electronics, firmware, and all the 3D printed bits. Before Micromelon he worked in electronics startups and CSIRO research. These days he runs student workshops, tinkers with new rover attachments, and occasionally 3D prints things that have nothing to do with robots.
