This project merges the mechanical components of the Portland Robotics Group (PARTS) MarkIII minisumo with the AVR Robot Control board. The minisumo is programmed in BASIC using the BASCOM compiler. A prototype minisumo program can be found in the ARC 1.0 Sample code
The mini-sumo comprises:
 |
ARC 1.0 control board |
| Left Motor (Standard BB R/C Servo) |
|
Right Motor |
|
Left Floor Sensor (QRB1114) |
|
Middle Floor Sensor |
|
Right Floor Sensor |
|
Left Proximity Sensor (Sharp GP2D12) |
|
Right Proximity Sensor |
|
Powder coated aluminum chassis |
| 6 AA cell battery pack |
The chassis, motors, wheels and sensors can be purchased from PARTS for about $60, including shipping.
