Motor Speed to Robot Speed Calculator
In these CoVid-19 days it looks like we will share more articles, projects. I am starting with one basic calculator for robot speed. You can easily calculate it with a calculator though, but laziness .. 🙂 »

In this article, we will assemble M1 mini sumo robot kit together. This robot model is very popular amongst beginner to moderate robot makers with versatility. Based on Arduino nano platform it is highly developable. But before development we need to assemble 🙂 In that article you will find all tips and tricks of M1 assembly and development. »
What is Mini Sumo Robot? Mini sumo robot is a special robot type that it beats the opponent mini sumo in special rules. Each robot is fully autonomous and tries to prudh other opponent robot. At mini sumo competition usually there is weight and dimension limit ( Max. 10 cm width, 10 cm length, no heigh limit, and max. 500 grams total weight) »
So in basic, we add sensors, battery, motors and all other blocks are inside XMotion board. With XMotion you can make these robots easily: »
Compatibility This was biggest feature we changed at Genesis V.2. For instance you have robots which are using Arduino Uno and Sparkfun Ardumoto or Arduino Motor Shield. Genesis now has same pinput for motor controlling. So they are identical with same program! »
Using Thin Wires Sumo Robots can draw very high currents than thin wires can stand very well. In that cases that wires can melt and can create short circuits. »
In that tutorial, we will look to Arduino sketches for Genesis based mini sumo robot. First we should look the Genesis’s connection table. That table determines any type of robot’s program. »
Blazing Speed Sumo Robots! Achievable! Sometimes when you watch sumo robot videos, you see how much they are fast. Some friends asking which motor you are using or which voltage? For making fast robot you need to change three things: Motor Voltage (DCX, RE40 or RE35 Types 12-18-24V Nominal Values) Wheel Size (35-50 millimeter sizes) Reduction (Cha-ching!) Our secret was making lower reduction rat... »
Hi friends, In that article, I will introduce you our new controller, Easyboard. And we will write the program together. What will we handle at that article? What is Mini sumo Robot? Easyboard Features Attaching sensors & Motors Programming the mini sumo robot code And further developments »
