If you think one robot is interesting, wait until you see two of them battling for control Sumo-style! The new SumoBot is a competition-ready robot designed within the Robot Mini-Sumo Tournament rules. This little pusher will locate and knock its opponent right out of the ring while detecting the outside circle should an escape move be necessary. Here are the design specifications:
The Mini-Sumo Tournament Rules dictate that the robots must fit within a 10 cm x 10 cm square and weigh less than 500 grams. The electronics consists of a surface-mounted BASIC Stamp 2, infrared sensors to detect your opponent and the edge of the Sumo Ring. The hardware package includes the black anodized aluminum chassis and scoop, servo motors, wheels, 4AA power pack (batteries not included) mounting standoffs and screws. The documentation takes you from basic moves to one-on-one combat.
THE SUMOBOT CAN:
* Teach you the basics of embedded control
* Compete in Sumo Bot competitions
* Avoid or seek objects using infrared light reflection
* Interface with additional digital, resistive, and frequency sensors of your choice.
