SimpleSumo- Educational Fighting Robots!

pinshape

SimpleSumo is an awesome little open-source robot that lets anyone build their very own autonomous mini-sumo with no prior knowledge in robotics at a price that's affordable for everyone! Designed with education in mind, I created the SimpleSumo platform to make it easy for anyone to get started with robot sports like mini-sumo. These robots are simple enough for kids to understand and build quickly, but they also offer great depth through mechanical customization and Arduino programming. These toys are perfect for small groups of 10+ year olds. Assembly takes about an hour and requires minimal tool use and no soldering or breadboarding at all. Adult supervision is suggested for students who are younger than high school level. Complete & partial robot kits are available at this link, or you can print everything yourself from scratch using these 3D printable files: https://engineerdog-webstore.fwscart.com/ For the full assembly instructions and up-to-date shopping list, visit this page on Instructables.com: https://www.instructables.com/id/SimpleSumo-Educational-Fighting-Robots/ For an up-to-date list of programs and where to find all things SimpleSumo, visit: https://engineerdog.com/simplesumo The files included are enough to build the complete standard kit. For upgrades beyond that, I sell the 3D printable files to recoup my substantial R&D costs. They're less than $3 on Pinshape.com: https://pinshape.com/search/designs?q=simplesumo Video Series Introduction Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nb-5wq9CI20&t=41s&list=PLxT-reigvGs0wmGk_xd2I9fvHXbBV3jPA&index=3 Printing Notes: * Must be printed in ABS or PETG, with 4 perimeters on all sides, top and bottom, at least 20% infill, and .3mm or finer layers. * The tire treads are printed in flex filament, as flexible as you can print at 100% infill. * You must reorient the files before printing, as shown in the yellow labeled images. All files print without supports except the cover, which I recommend printing upside down with supports to reduce sag. Full collection here: https://www.thingiverse.com/Me...
