Im a third-year mechatronics student from McMaster University. Fewer days ago, our team, Royalbot, win the champion in Sumobot competition. you may notice that it is the second time i participate this competition and last time sadly we only get third place. since the rules change this year, i decide to make a new design. the rules are: 20 * 20 cm dimension, max of 2kg weignt. so here is our new design:
Parts list:
Motor: pololu 37Dmm gearmotor
Motor drive: Dual VNH2SP30 Motor Drive Carrier MD03A
Sensors: Ultrasonic sensor ( HC-SR04)
QTR-1RC reflectance sensor
Microcontroller Board: Arduino Mega
DEO-nano
aluminum plates
wheel hub: made with D1.5'' aluminum rod
