Solarbotics K SV Sumovore Mini Sumo Kit

SKU : SbKSVSMSK

Features

•    - Powerful GM8 gearmotors 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.
•    - 6 AA power supply (batteries not included).
•    - Steel frame for easy assembly.
•    - Discrete brainboard, no programming required (optional modular brain boards for programming the robot are available).
•    - Discrete brainboard features:
•         - "Anti sumo-dance" behavior (stops two sumos from spinning around each other).
•         - "Anti edge-ram" behavior (stops dual edge triggers resulting in repeated edge-charging).
•         - Selectable sumo/line-follower modes.
•    - Multiple trimpots for simple behavior tuning.
•    - Modular front edge sensor / IR transmitter daughterboard.
•    - 345 grams (0.76 lbs.) with batteries in (6 x AA batteries not included).
•   - 32-page beginner-friendly detailed instructions (2044k pdf) (includes full electronic schematics, both logical and symbolic, for custom modification).

Expansion Capabilities

•    - There is an optional rear obstacle sensor so your Sumovore can protect itself from an attack from behind.
•    - The Sumovore’s included discrete brainboard is detachable, so if you’re ready for an upgrade you can replace the analog brain with your own microcontroller system or one of several optional microcontroller carrier boards (see page 30 of the instructions (2044k pdf)).
•    - Once the Sumovore is equipped with a programmable brain, a fifth reflectance sensor can be added, which is useful for developing a superior line following robot.
•    - Replace the included RM3 motor with the RM2 to triple the speed and double the torque.
•    - Gain some added traction in competition with high-traction tires.
