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 »
Many years ago, my friend’s beautiful sumo robot was eliminated by only small switch failure. from that day I am using only high quality switches like Europe or Japan switches. Below the high current APEM switches that I ordered from Ebay. »
In this review, I will write some bad things about Burnt Pololu 36V20CS Robot controllers. First of all, I will start with me. I am not beginner at motor controllers or at least implementing motor controllers to robot systems. When I bought I was very excited and curious about these motor controllers… But I get disappointed with performance and lack of guarantee. »
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... »
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... »
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) »
