Zumo Robot v1.2 - mini-sumo robot for Arduino (assembled)

Description

Pololu minisumo robot based on a tracked chassis. Platform designed for use with an Arduino controller or compatible device, e.g. A-Star 32U4 Prime. Dimensions (98 x 98 x 39 mm) and weight (300 g with batteries and controller) allow the robot to be used as a minisumo platform in popular competitions for pupils and students organized around the world.

The robot uses two DC Micro Pololu motors with a 75:1 HP transmission to drive the tracks, providing high torque and a maximum speed of about 60 cm/s. The Zumo robot includes a coarse laser cut stainless steel blade mounted on the front of the chassis to push objects and a reflection sensor matrix mounted along the front edge of Zumo that allows detecting lines or edges on the ground. The set is also equipped with a main board module constituting an expansion board for Arduino/A-Star 32U4 Prime. The module includes a two-channel engine driver, a buzzer for playing simple sounds, a user button and a 3-axis accelerometer, compass and gyroscope for detecting impact and orientation.

The robot has extensive support in the form of Arduino libraries for all systems available on the board. It is also available without motors as a self-assembly kit.
