Robotime Ambassador Recruitment Program

  • Who am I? ... a teacher for 30+ years & a lifelong crafter, (see Hobbies Section), who discovered this 'new' hobbie in 2025 & hasn't looked back!
  • Robotime / Rolife / Rokr collection ... to date I have built & thoroughly enjoyed the following ...

Book Nooks .... Shakespeare Book Store, Garden House, Time Travel, Fall into Wonder, Holiday Cafe, Street Scene; Magic Fantasy Corner

3D Puzzles ... Sunset Carnival; Classic Carousel; London Tour Bus; Chamomile, Pink Dahlia, Pink & Orange Tulips, Purple Iris & Gerbera Daisy flowers; Geometric & Twin-Tower Cathedrals; Starry Night & Magic Piano Music Boxes; Magic  Dream Gift Factory; Gear Ball Challenge; Marble Parkour, Night City & Spaceport Marble Runs, Santa on Sleigh & Road Tripper Gravity Swings, The Last City Marble Run & London City Marble Runs, Eiffle Tower with Lights; Cuckoo & Owl Clocks; Water Lily; Flowers with Vase; Poinsettia; Racing Car; Big Ben; Treasure Box; Open Closed Sign; Christmas Wreath; Christmas Melody Tree

  • Thoughts behind the builds ...

Since discovering Rolife / Rokr / Robotime kits over a year ago I have embraced the varied themes, skills & creativity required to create each unique project.  Discovering a vibrant online & supportive community, along with youtube tutorials to help support the builds has been a delight.  I have been able to develop skills I never thought possible ... particularly with the 3D models.  I am constantly inspired to complete & move onto the next project & excited as to the new releases to come ... particularly the typewriter!

  • What interests me about the Brand Ambassador role?

Being able to meet in person & connect with new people & likeminded crafters on a regular basis would be fantastic in the local community ... providing support where needed & being inspired by others.  Also to connect with fellow Ambassadors & be involved with the testing & future design process is so exciting!

  • What makes me confident I can take on this role?

All my experiences as a teacher, crafter & having run many workshops will help to support me in this role.  Combining all my skills into making this new venture a success!
