A very slightly used, never competed Solarbotics Mini Sumovore Kit. When I bought this, I purchased the sumovore kit, the stamp stack microcontroller as well as the brainboard as I thought I needed all of them. I assembled the Sumovore, programmed and tested it and it works fine, but it has been sitting on a shelf for months not getting any use. So, it’s time for it to go. I am selling all three items below as a package. Total cost was about $180 USD with shipping, customs duty/taxes etc. Details as follows:

Sumo Robot: Solarbotics Mini Sumovore (link)

The Solarbotics Sumovore Kit is a strong, modular design with over 500 man-hours of development and 21 prototypes behind it. It has more power, speed, and is less expensive than the Junun Mark III, Parallax Mini-Sumo, and Tab SumoBot. This kit features: * Powerful GM8 gear motors 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 * 6AA power supply * Steel frame for easy assembly * Modular brain boards (discrete brainboard included, BS2 / Atmel / Stamp Stack brainboards extra) * Discrete brainboard “Anti Sumo-dance” behavior (stops two sumos from spinning around each other) * Discrete brainboard “Anti edge-ram” behavior (stops dual edge triggers resulting in repeated edge-charging) * Discrete brainboard offers selectable sumo/line-follower modes * Multiple trimpots for simple behavior tuning * Modular front edge sensor / IR transmitter daughterboard * 345 grams “batteries-in” finished weight (6 x AA batteries not included) * Powder-coated front Steel (not Aluminum) plates available in several colours * Multiple wheel colours available * 32-page detailed instruction document also contains full electronic schematics, both logical and symbolic for custom modifications Extra options available : * Rear-looking IR detector and emitter – great for active or passive searching. * Atmel Mega8L brainboard with additional breadboard space. * PIC 16F877 brainboard with additional breadboard space. * BS2 brainboard to accommodate 24-pin BS2-compatible family of microprocessors (BS2 not included). * HVWTech Stamp-Stack Basic Stamp 2 clone board (mates with BS2 brainboard). * PICAXE brainboard complete with 28X1 IC * Prototyping board with spots for three servo headers and I2C taps, raw 6V and regulated 5V power, Transistor, RJ11 and IC footprints Also be sure to check out the Yahoo! Sumovore Mailing List Besides offering support regarding building, tuning, programming (for the microcontroller add-ons), we hope to see lots of cool Sumovore hacks!

Note: I have assembled the sumovore and it is fully operational. All you need is batteries. It also has been programmed, but may need to be reloaded.

HWVTech Stamp Stack Microcontroller Kit: Designed to plug into any solderless breadboard, this 100%-compatible Basic Stamp 2 microcontroller is reverse-polarity protected, has a built-on serial programming connector and reset switch, and has an easily replaced interpreter & EEPROM. Although somewhat larger, it’s substantially less expensive than a true Parallax BS2 module, but still interfaces with our Sumovore Mini-sumo through the BS2-brainboard add-on. Note – one I have is a Parallax model, the picture shown is just for reference.

BrainBoard: Sumovore BS2 Brainboard Addon: Program the Sumovore with a Basic Stamp II add-on! This module lets you interface your own BS2 compatible or Stamp Stack II module (not included) to your Sumovore. Yank off the default “discrete brain”, plunk this interface board on, add your own controller, and you’re ready to load code!
