Introducing the latest in bucking bull technology. Ladies in gentlemen this isn't your standard bar mechanical bull, this is Robo. The Robo Bull is designed to give riders the ultimate riding experience by combining current technology and a bull riders needs to provide the ultimate and closest experience to riding a real live bull.
The Robo Bull allows the rider to do the real deal without having to hire a workforce to push bulls through the chutes. It is also more than just a mechanical bull. Robo can be used in the arena and has the capability of actually starting in a chute. The bull sits on a tripod of wheels that is steered by what resembles a remote controlled car controller. The controller steers the bull, adjusts the intensity of the buck, and the speed at which the wheels move. Basically, if you have a bunch of smart aleck friends, don't give them the controller.
The real riding experience comes in by providing not just bucking motions, but the ability to actually spin the device, move and spin some more. As all bull riders know, no matter how much you study your draw, bulls have bucking trends but never repeat themselves. This allows for riders to practice all sorts of maneuvers and is the perfect device to allow riders to build their core and practice balance and unexpected changes in a bulls spin from left to right, etc.
It's as simple as a real bull because all it requires is you putting your hand in the bull rope and telling your buddy holding the remote to start Robo. As mentioned before, it doesn't require rounding up the bulls, lining them in the chutes or having to have multiple hands running them back in the gate or into the pasture.
Bull rider J.W. Harris is featured in the films done by the company. However, if you are involved in some other aspect of the rodeo, don't be discouraged. Robo Cyber Systems, the creator of Robo Bull, have also created Robo Bronc and the Robo Steer. Yes, they cater to the bronc riders and those in the timed roping events. In the works is the Robo Cutter for all the cutting horse fanatics. Once production is complete, more information can be found on their website, www.robocybersystems.com
I've included this video that features JW at the Mesquite Rodeo who talks about a few things going on in the rodeo world but also some Robo footage and why its great for beginners and experienced riders.
