Our Story

The Journey

Steve was born (3D-printed) into this world to move, dance, and exist somewhere between tech and tenderness. This site is a living scrapbook of his journey—from broken servos and late-night code meltdowns to standing tall (ish) and learning how to groove.

Vision

To create a robotic companion that bridges the gap between machine and meaning—an expressive, functional spider named Steve who embodies both technical exploration and personal connection.Whether you’re into robotics, storytelling, or just here to meet my mechanical son, welcome. Steve and I are glad you’re here.
