RobotForge checks a robot design before you build it. You describe a robot in plain words. Muse Spark turns that into an engineering spec. A checker then tests the spec for mistakes — size, power, and rules for wheeled, flying, legged, and arm robots. Next, the design runs in a simulator, which compares it against ground truth and gives a pass or fail: drive error within 5% and heading within 5 degrees to pass. If it fails, RobotForge measures the error and fixes the design. In one recorded run, the robot drove 0.913 m while its sensors reported 1.015 m — an 11.168% error, a fail. RobotForge corrected the wheel size (0.066 m → 0.059369 m), and the re-run passed at 0.052%. The site is a working app: design robots in chat (text, voice, photo, or parts list), ask the assistant Wrench about any result, browse 11 catalogued robots with their recorded test results, and keep your own designs with their checks and wiring. Everything in the demo was built during the hackathon (Oct 26 – Nov 4, 2026) in the public repo. I built RobotForge because of what I couldn't do on my college rover team. So I built the tool I needed back then.
