Hack into the DJI Robomaster S1 Battle Bot in 5 Minutes

3 min read

When I saw the RoboMaster S1 for the first time, I was completely stoked. I was impressed by its sturdy look. It’s a powerful hefty drone weighing around 7 pounds and feels like a heavy tank. The DJI Robomaster S1 is undoubtedly one of the most complex battling robot that you can build yourself and control with your smartphone. You can install a special app to play games, drive around, and even shoot small water-based pellets at targets or other RoboMaster flawlessly.

Everything about the S1 is extremely sturdy and well-built. It’s mostly heavy-duty plastic. The DJI RoboMaster S1 arrives completely disassembled requiring you to build it from the ground up using the 46 customizable components that make up the unit. It displays AI technology in six cool ways, including: line recognition, vision marker recognition, people recognition, clap recognition, gesture recognition, and S1 recognition. Line recognition allows users to program the S1 to cruise along a line placed on the ground. AI technology lets the S1 recognize gestures, sounds, and even other S1 robots. Working with the RoboMaster S1 opens the doorway to AI learning, giving you a practical introduction to the technologies of tomorrow.

In my previous blog post, I showed how to assemble Robomaster S1 for the first time. I also showed how to connect to Robomaster via Python and Scratch programming language. In this blog post, I will show you how to hack into Robomaster S1 bot in easy steps. Let’s get started –

What do you need?

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/collabnix/robomaster

  • Unzip the Android SDK Platform‐Tools somewhere in your system
  • Use the Intelligent Controller Micro USB Port and connect the S1 to your computer.
  • Start the Robomaster S1 application. Go to the Lab, create a new Python application and paste the following code:
def root_me(module):
 __import__=rm_log.__dict__['__builtins__']['__import__']
 return __import__(module,globals(),locals(),[],0)
builtins=root_me('builtins')
subprocess=root_me('subprocess')
proc=subprocess.Popen('/system/bin/adb_en.sh',shell=True,executable='
/system/bin/sh',stdout=subprocess.PIPE,stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
  • Ensure that you run the Code within the S1 Lab. If you followed the steps correctly there should be no compilation errors. The Console will show: Execution Complete
  • Ensure that you don’t close the S1 Application! Open an Explorer window and go to the directory which holds the earlier extracted Android Platform Tools. Open a PowerShell in this directory (Shift + Right‐Click)
  • It’s time to run the ADP command to list the devices:
.\adb.exe devices

You should see something like this:
