One Eyed Sumo Specifications for Nov 2nd 2002 Autonomous Event


Robot Name:
One Eyed Sumo
Builder:
Link:
Classification:
Sumo
Place:
3rd
Description:
One Eyed Sumo was made out of Plastruct plastic from a local hobby store. I attempted to make the base as low as possible so that other robots could not get under it. A single servo motor holds a GP2D02 IR ranging sensor. The servo motor swings the sensor from side to side. This was used to search for the opponent. A BX24 microprocessor was used as the brains of the sumo. Two CDS cells and two Red LEDs where used to detect the edge of the ring. The robot took a weekend to build and several late nights to program.
