Ayrton Senna Tribute FRS-XX!

We love paying tribute to the legends that came before us, and 3 time world F1 champion Ayrton Senna is one of the biggest. Joining with McLaren and Honda to get the telemetry data from his winning race laps we re programed the T6 autopilot to adapt his style to the FRS-XX. After just 3 test runs it has out paced all other pilots in the very same machine! Showing just how far ahead he was not only in his time, but ours as well.
     This tribute version is on display at this years concours d'elegance in Monterey CA.
Long live the legend above and beyond!

FRS Comparison

We decided to show you the differences between our 2 active FRS models. "Although they share many design cues they could not be more different." Says the designer, Alex Jaeger of ALXART design in California. On the left is the FRS-32R from last season. It proved to be a champion in the solo division and faired 2nd in the South American Dakar. It is still making waves in the pro- am circuit and by no means a by gone model. Following in the footsteps of legendary companies like Audi and McClaren  who continued to improve upon perfection in their race machines, so to JAEGERTECH has done the same. On the right is the new FRS-XX model. Side by side you can se the vast improvements in streamlined design and engineering. Shorter, thinner and lighter the XX is a technical marvel in that we added 2 more legs and space for a co-pilot. Using new leg mounted driver motors we were able to move much of the leg controls out of the body and into the joints themselves. A central carbon nano-fiber spine gives it stiffness and safety for our 2 drivers while integrating the chassis mount points further inboard. All cables and control contacts are shrouded inside the suspension struts for protection and for a clean, efficient design. 
Stay tuned for more info and details from JAEGERTECH as the summer continues! Also go like the ALXART fan page on face book to keep informed.

Presented in 'pure form' to show off the pure design shapes, this TR series drone is a specialized for extreme hazard search and rescue missions. It has the ability to crawl into tunnels and vertical shafts without a tether by extending it's multiple curved legs out. Advanced non optical mapping and vision arrays allow it to peer through complex surfaces to help rescue personal know exactly where to go or not to go in a dangerous situation. Saving lives and collecting information is the S.A.R.X 's main objectives. Be sure to follow our blog to stay up to date on all the latest JAEGERTECH releases.

The FRS-XX in "Pure Form"


JAEGERTECH is proud to reveal the new stunning FRS-XX design by ALXART in 'Pure Form'. Presented here in these ambient occlusion images to strip away all the reflections, textures and decals to reveal the basic forms to see the sleek design clearly. We completed our trials and we are excited to say the FRS-XX performed above our expectations! We've had some interest in making small desktop models of our FRS series mechs for clients and those who can't afford the real thing. If you are interested we would love to hear from you! Drop us a note via alxart and we'll see what we can do!
thanks again for stopping by loyal mech drivers and pass on the word about JAEGERTECH!

The JAEGERTECH S.A.R.X drone!

On the heals of the FRS-XX 'tease' comes the release of this image of the new Search And Rescue X drone from JAEGERTECH. The S.A.R.X is a smaller and far more daring design addition to the drone  series and a new branch off of the previous TR drones. Boasting flea-like swept leg designs that are capable of getting this drone to scale a vertical shaft without the use of a tether and non-optical vision systems, this drone can be deployed into the most hazardous situations. This image is of the early release test mule, although the final design will be very similar.
We teased the top view of the S.A.R.X a few weeks ago, but much progress has been made since then. Test trials are still adding to it's effectiveness in the field and a final version will be made available later this year.
Thanks again for your interest in JAEGERTECH and be sure to let our team know what you think! Also check out the blog of our lead designer ALXART!

Official story on the 'leaked' spy shot FRS-XX

A few days ago an image was posted on Nuthin' But Mech blog of the rumored FRS follow up racing mech. The image was indeed of our newest addition to the FRS racing mech program, the FRS-XX. Deep in testing at the black forest test circuit in Southern Germany our crew was there for 14 days testing the new leg systems and contact shoes. Admittedly this image was taken by our official photographer Lucas Thyssen, but the 'leak' was more of a... 'peek' as Derek D of FLD might say :) We will reveal more info as the testing progresses, with the official full reveal in December this year. As the pic reveals we are working with Nuthin' But Mech Racing this year as a new sponsor and we continue to work with ALXART as our design team. We have other projects in the pipe as well, but right now our main focus is the FRS-XX and the new drone mech we mentioned a week ago. Our partners asked us to withhold any more official info for now, so enjoy the spy pick and let us know what you think so far!
Tschüss!
