“Pollen Robotics: The Making of A Challenger”, is an in-house production documentary in which Pollen Robotics shares their incredible journey, from the humble garage beginnings of a small, dedicated team to their recent achievement at the ANA Avatar @xprize  and beyond, into the future.

More than a making-of; it's a window into their mindset, their passion for open source, and their vision of what a business can and should be, now and for years to come.
