Mini-Sumo Tire Mold/Casting

thingiverse

This is a design for an OpenSCAD model used to create molds that produce silicone SimpleSumo robot mini-sumo tires. Making your own tires from these kits can be improved by using higher friction materials. I created my own mold using silicone molding putty, and also made a DIY version of Sugru, both of which worked well although working with oogoo was very messy.
