Sumobot Info Request...

[Everseeker]

Greetings all,

I am currently getting involved in a sumo event at work.

I am OK with designing a bot… But I have always had issues with the software.

So, open ask here… could any of you who has a script, send it to me?

If they’re not made for the Arduino, that’s fine. I am mostly interested in overall sensor/motor/time management

If sending something “in the clear” is an issue, feel free to send to Everseeker@ Gmail. Com

(And I promise NOT to use your code against you at a future event J)

Here is some code.  Basically in an infinite loop, check your line sensors first and if the robot is driving out of the ring then back up and turn.  Then check your ultrasonics and if it sees another robot then chase otherwise just drive around.  The sumo ring is at the space so use it to test.

Pololu has their example sketch available on Github:

In the Halloween Sumo Bot challenge both the first and second place winners were just the stock BorderDetect script with the only modifications being the constants defined at the top:
