The Solarbotics Sumovore Kit is a strong, modular design with over 500 man-hours of development and 21 prototypes behind it. It has more power, speed, and is less expensive than the Junun Mark III, Parallax Mini-Sumo, and Tab SumoBot.
features:
- Powerful GM8 gear motors powered by a robust L293D motor driver
- Four opto-reflector edge sensors (fifth edge sensor position available when using microprocessor brainboard)
- Two 38kHz IR emitters and detectors for opponent detection
- 6AA power supply
- Steel frame for easy assembly
- Modular brain boards (discrete brainboard included, BS2 / Atmel / Stamp Stack brainboards extra)
- Discrete brainboard "Anti Sumo-dance" behavior (stops two sumos from spinning around each other)
- Discrete brainboard "Anti edge-ram" behavior (stops dual edge triggers resulting in repeated edge-charging)
- Discrete brainboard offers selectable sumo/line-follower modes
- Multiple trimpots for simple behavior tuning
- Modular front edge sensor / IR transmitter daughterboard
- 345 grams "batteries-in" finished weight (6 x AA batteries not included)
- Powder-coated front Steel (not Aluminum) plates available in several colours
- Multiple wheel colours available
- 32-page detailed instruction document also contains full electronic schematics, both logical and symbolic for custom modifications
