Mini Sumo Robot

This ais a mini Sumo robot I designed for the Zebra Explorers post. It has the following features:

1. Controlled by a Raspberry Pi ZeroW
2. Two analog reflectence sensors
3. Laser TOF distance sensor
4. AVR micro for power management and analog/IR input
5. Uses Python 3 for programming, and c for the driver libs.

The BOM has all the parts/pricing as well as sources. The cost when building 30 units was around $72 each.

The instructions to setup the bot from a standard Raspbian install are included in setup.txt, The sumo.zip file has the needed software.

If you prefer, there is an already setup image at: sumo_img.zip

Instructions for building the bot are in Assembly.pdf

You communicate with the Pi using ssh either over wifi or USB. The Zero will appear as an NDIS ethernet adapter when plugged into your PC. It shows up at 192.168.42.1, the account is of course pi, and the password is SumoBot.

After logging in, cd to code/test. There you will find some test code.
