Micromelon Robotics has reached a significant milestone: more than 1,000 Micromelon Rovers are now deployed in schools and educational organisations across Australia. From its beginnings as a Brisbane startup, the company has grown to serve hundreds of schools spanning every state and territory.

The 1,000-Rover milestone reflects years of consistent growth driven by word-of-mouth recommendations from teachers, successful pilot programs, and partnerships with organisations like the Australian Computer Society. Each Rover represents a classroom where students are gaining hands-on experience with robotics, coding, and engineering.

Reaching this scale has also validated Micromelon's decision to manufacture locally in Brisbane. The team has refined its assembly and quality control processes to maintain high standards while meeting increasing demand. Every Rover is still assembled, tested, and shipped from the company's Brisbane facility.

Schools using the platform range from small rural primaries with a single class set of Rovers to large metropolitan secondaries with multiple sets integrated across year levels. The diversity of deployment contexts has pushed Micromelon to build a platform that is genuinely adaptable — working equally well for a grade 3 introduction to coding and a year 12 Python programming project.

"Every Rover we ship represents students who are going to have a better, more engaging experience with STEM," the team reflected. "Hitting 1,000 is exciting, but we're focused on what comes next."
