DESCRIPTION:
Once you have become familiar with programming in PBASIC and have designed
your own projects, you may want to explore our selection of Stamps with
increased power, speed, or memory. 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 Northwest 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. 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.
