Firstly, I design my minisumo on solidworks and I built it on a our 3 axis CNC machine. This robot participated in the RobotChallenge 2013 which is the most popular robotic organization in Europe. Features DC motor 650rpm 3.2kg/cm torque PRO4550-usb Controller Card 30 shore silicon wheels. (Radius is 32mm) 2 micro servo (metal gear box) motor for flags QTR1A Edge Sensors 3 ... »
For this year’s sumo robots, I have to design new better motor controllers. At first designs, I used big power mosfets, through hole components. With experience, I made better, concentrated PCB. I used this boards at my all sumo robots (Shadow, JSumo, Fusion2) It uses 4 Power MOSFETs and HIP4081A MOSFET driver. I fabricated only 20 pieces as prototype. I made 2 PCB in design. The bottom deck... »
At April 2013 I made new magnetic sumo robot. Features: 2 Maxon RE35 Dc Motors 2 Omron E3z-D62 Sensors 3 Keyence PZG-41 Sensors. 4 QRE1113GR Edge Sensors. Custom made motor controllers 2 Wheeled Design. A lot of neodmiyum magnets. »
Last year I designed some sumo robot controller circuits. All components (Motor drivers, voltage regulators, Arduino) in one board. Firstly I made some test with breadboard. This wasn’t last design. I doubled mosfet transistors at last design. Last through pin design. It was like an art to make this board. I used at Shadow sumo robot. After I used smaller SMD motor controller de... »
Previosly, few months ago we get hacked..:( I found some backup in my harddrive and uploaded it. Now we are up again. We lost some forum posts and some blog posts but I will add them in coming days.. »
You can click the image for bigger size. At this graph I used Maxon RE40 Model (12V) I connected to 4S lipo (Polyquest li-po 16,8V nominal voltage) »
This year we built better sumo. It uses Keyence & Omron sensors.. Total six sensors robot use. It competed at: Uludag Robot Gunleri 2012 Meb Robotik Yarismasi 2012 Isparta SDU Robot Yarisması 2012 For now only one video and some photos..:) With new Arduino Sumo Robot Controller Card. »
I uploaded 23. ALL Japan Robot Sumo Tournament photoset to picasa. https://picasaweb.google.com/104123307352030182049/23AllJapanRobotSumoTournament It was very exciting experience for us..:) This year at December (2012 – 24.th Tornamanent) we will go again. And we will defeat with stronger projects..:) »
