Mini-Sumo Bots!

[Rick Nemer]

Hi Guys, the time to start building bots again is here!

We are going to build our own bots for a nice friendly winter competition.

We want to mentor a group of high school kids and also have a few
people in the ADG to build them to compete like we did about 8 years
ago.

If you look at the National Robotics Challenge web site at
http://www.nationalroboticschallenge.org/joomla/index.php/downloads
you can get the plans and specs for what is needed.

I plan on using Arduinos and the new TinyDuino products from our own Ken Burns.

Check out Ken's new product line at http://tiny-circuits.com/

I hope we can get at least 3 or 4 people building bots that we can
have fun with at the meetings.
Its a good way to get started with embedded systems.
Hope to have some stuff to demo at the next ADG meeting Nov 8th.
