The Parallax SumoBot Robot Kit helps you to design and program high-quality SumoBot Robots, which can wrestle in the mini-sumo competition ring. The SumoBot Robot Kit 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 complete SumoBot robots. A Parallax USB to Serial (RS-232) Adapter and a USB A to mini B Cable is available for those who require a USB connection.
The general topics introduced in the SumoBot Manual are as follows:
• Basic SumoBot locomotion under program control
• Edge avoidance and opponent detection based on a variety of sensor inputs
• Navigation opponent seeking using programmed artificial intelligence
The Stamps in Class text Applied Robotics with the SumoBot (#27403) has assembly instructions and test programs for more SumoBot activities. These step-by-step activities provides competitive edge and expands your skills in Applied Robotics with the SumoBot. The activities also include friction analysis, self-calibrating sensors, memory optimization with multipurpose variables, a sensor flags register and state-machine diagrams for sensor-based navigation. The EEPROM data logging lets you to record your robot's sensor and program states during a match, then display them afterward in the BASIC Stamp Editor's Debug Terminal, which is an excellent way to troubleshoot and analyze the performance of your program strategies.
You can hold your wrestling matches on the durable 36 x 36 in. The SumoBot Robot Competition Ring Poster, designed to use with the instructions and programs included in Applied Robotics with the SumoBot.
Note: This book and poster are each sold separately, or with two SumoBot robots and more in the SumoBot Robot Competition Kit (#27402).
