Robo Challenge help Suzi Perry win a golf challenge on the Gadget Show!

In another custom build project for channel FIVE’s the Gadget Show, the Robo Challenge crew were called in to help presenter Suzi Perry win an interesting new golf challenge! The presenters were tasked with using gadgetry to score a ‘hole in one’.

The Robo Challenge crew designed and produced a cool grabber which attached to the bottom of a Kasama helicopter!

Using it to grab the golf ball off the tee and fly over to the hole. Suzi Perry was at the controls for the grabber and had to use perfect timing and accuracy to drop the ball when hovering over the target. The wind was buffeting the helicopter which made it very tricky however Suzi was on the ball. She released the golf ball at the perfect time and scored a hole in one!
You can watch all the action here.
