This robot is intended to compete in Mini-Sumo by finding robot opponents and attempting to push them out of the ring. The key technologies that are implemented into this mechanism are, the motor driver, buck converter, microcontroller, and debug screen. The buck converter supplies the robot with a constant 5v from the lithium battery to power the components such as the logic for the motor driver, microcontroller, and sensors. The microcontroller supplies signals to the various devices on the robot and reports it to the debug screen attached to it. The motor driver supplies 12 volts to the motors and is controlled by PWM from the microcontroller. The greatest challenge with this robot was space. Since this is meant to compete in Mini-Sumo, the max length and width of the robot are limited to 10 centimeters. Fitting everything for the robot in this small space became the largest focus once we figured out what we were implementing.
