Pololu Zumo Robot Arduino Compatible v1.2 (75:1 HP Motor)
Arduino compatible Zumo robot, suitable for Mini Sumo competitions, more than 10 cm x 10 cm It is a small Arduino controlled trackable assembled robot platform. It includes two micro-metal gearmotors connected to a pair of silicon traces, a stainless steel bulldozer-style blade, an array of six infrared reflection sensors for line following or edge detection, a buzzer for simple sounds and music, and a 3-axis accelerometer, magnetometer, and detecting impacts Includes gyroscope to track and track orientation.
The Zumo robot uses an Arduino (or A) as the main controller. It is a low-profile robotic platform intended for use with a compatible device such as the Star 32U4 Prime. It measures less than 10cm on each side and weighs around 300g with an Arduino Uno and batteries, making it small enough and light enough to take part in Mini-Sumo competitions. It uses two 75:1 HP micro metal gearmotors, providing plenty of torque and a top speed of approximately 2 feet per second (60 cm/s); This makes it much more agile than competing robots like the Solarbotics Sumovore. The Zumo robot, like other robots, has a 0.036-inch-thick laser-cut stainless steel picking blade mounted on the front of the chassis to push around objects like other robots, and a reflection sensor array mounted on the front edge of the Zumo (behind the picking blade). It allows Zumo to detect features in the ground in front of it, such as lines to follow or edges to avoid.
Makes it easy to connect to all integrated hardware and enables Zumo's reflection array, button, buzzer, and Several sample programs are provided to show you how to use the engines. Additionally, a simple LSM303 Arduino library and You can use the L3G Arduino library.
Required Accessories (Not included in the kit)
Four AA battery. The Zumo chassis runs on both alkaline and NiMH batteries, but we recommend rechargeable NiMH batteries.
A Arduino or a compatible controller board. Works with Zumo Shield, A-Star 32U4 Prime, Arduino Uno and Arduino Leonardo. It is not compatible with the Arduino Mega or Due, but can be used with older Arduinos that have the same form factor as the Uno, such as the Duemilanove.
