Build and program two high-quality SumoBot robots designed to wrestle in the
mini-sumo competition ring (included in the kit). The electronics consists of a surface-mounted BASIC Stamp 2 module
and an array of infrared sensors to detect your opponent and the edge of the
Sumo Ring. Additional components include piezospeakers, resistors, pushbuttons
and LEDs to build custom breadboard circuits for program mode selection and
sensor state feedback. The hardware package includes black anodized aluminum
chassis and scoops, servo motors, wheels, 4AA power packs (batteries not
included) mounting standoffs, and screws for two complete SumoBot robots.
This kit comes with two printed texts. The SumoBot Manual has assembly
instructions and test programs that take you from basic moves to one-on-one
combat. Once you have your SumoBot robots up and running, give them a
competitive edge and expand your skills by following the step-by-step activities
in Applied Robotics with the SumoBot - an advanced text in our Stamps in Class
series. Activities include friction analysis, self-calibrating sensors, memory
optimization with multipurpose variables and a sensor flags register, and
state-machine diagrams for sensor-based navigation. EEPROM data logging lets you
record your robot's sensor and program states during a match, then display them
afterward in the BASIC Stamp Editor's Debug Terminal - an excellent way to
troubleshoot and analyze the performance of your program strategies.
Hold your wrestling matches on the durable 36 x 36 in. SumoBot Robot
