RoboMaster S1 is a ground robot programmed through RoboMaster Lab in DJI’s RoboMaster app. It supports Scratch and Python. Choose examples written for S1: RoboMaster EP and EP Core are different packages, and their arms, accessories and software interfaces are not automatically part of this model.1
DJI’s September 16, 2020 release note identifies firmware 00.06.0500 and app version 1.1.4 or later. The US iOS listing records app version 1.1.6, published February 5, 2021. For an older unit, use those references to identify its software, then ask to see installation and activation on the device you intend to use.23
S1 connects directly over Wi-Fi or through a router. DJI says router operation itself does not require internet access. First-time activation, downloads and account services are separate steps, so work through those before planning a session without internet. A short program run is a more useful demonstration than a support-page link alone.1
DJI recommends appropriate flat surfaces and avoiding sand, dirt and very slippery floors. S1 is not waterproof. Choose a clear place for the planned driving or coding activity and read the product’s full operating instructions before using it.1
DJI’s safety guide says S1 is not intended for children under 14 without direct adult supervision. That restriction is different from a guarantee that older users face no risk. Use a DJI-approved charger and do not use or charge damaged or leaking batteries.4
S1’s documentation includes camera, audio and program-sharing features. Discuss where the camera will point and which sharing functions you want to use. Router operation without internet does not, by itself, explain retention or deletion in the app’s services.1
Before paying for an older S1, establish who will provide repairs and whether a suitable replacement battery is available in your region. Ask the seller to demonstrate charging, connection and the programming mode you want. The support and download pages are useful references, but a working, supportable unit is what the household needs.1
