Yolanda comes from the novel "Yolanda, the Black Corsair's Daughter" by Emilio Salgari.

The robot resembles a sailship with two masts. The mast in the back is connected to a medium motor, which allows it to rotate with some limits. The mast also has a gyro sensor in the back. These are placed so that the gyro sensor detects which way "the wind is blowing" and moves the sails that way. The second mast is connected to the first one so that it moves accordingly. The robot also uses two large motors to move.

Remilo comes from esperanto and means paddle.

The robot resembles a boat, but moves on land. It uses two large motors with "paddles" attached to them to move. Because its movement capabilities are limited, it has a gyro sensor to correctly move forward.

The name comes from the worlds most expensive yacht, History Supreme, purchased for around 5 billion US dollars form an anonymous Malaysian buyer.

Robotics Supreme is a robot made to resemble a yacht. For that purpose it is made to look very long and its front comes to one point. It uses two large motors with tyres to move. On the front it also has a color sensor, placed so the robot can follow a line. On the back it has a Gyro sensor, so that it can turn correctly.

Uylam is a robot that simulates a stormy environment for its ship. It is made using two piston-like mechanisms powered by a Large motor and offset by 90 degrees to create shaking similar to that of big waves. The ship itself is made out of a medium motor on a turntable and a gyro sensor attached to them. The purpose of this is to explore what is the best position of a ship compared to the waves, so that it sustains the least amount of shaking.

Gen comes from Gendema, a bulgarian late 80s rock band, popular with its song about pedalos.

The robot uses two EV3 Large motors to move, but instead of wheels it uses four-legged paddles, attached to the motors. This makes it look like a pedalo. Additionally it slides on the ground much like a real pedalo on the water.

Because of the strange mechanism of movement, the robot has a gyro sensor to help it keep a straight line.

Barco from spanish means boat.

The robot is made to look like a sail ship. The sails are made out of technic panels, attached in various ways to create the best look. Otherwise the robot uses two motors with tyres to move. At the back of the robot there is a Gyro sensor, which helps it maneuver.
