Zumo Robot Kit v1.2 - a kit for building a minisumo robot for Arduino (without motors, for assembly)

Description

A set for building a minisumo robot from Pololu based on a caterpillar 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 requires two DC Micro Pololu motors to drive the tracks. The kit includes a thick laser cut stainless steel blade mounted on the front of the chassis to push objects. 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 in versions with motors and reflection sensors as a set with a assembly robot.
