They solve mysteries and have adventures: some small and some that saved the planet!

How did they start?

They started as a group of children with a shared interest in robotics (that’s how they got their name) but - through their adventures - they started solving mysteries and problems.

Who are they aimed at?

All ages. They are great as reading books if you want to practice and the books are really good for bedtime stories. They are funny, action packed and engaging.

Sugar
Sugar's head Sugar is a Robot. He looks like a toy but he is actually a living robot. Funny, Super-intelligent but not all that savvy, Sugar is at the heart of The Roboteers. I don’t want to give too much away. here but how he came to be alive is very much connected to the formation of the Roboteers.
