I've been playing with MiniSumo robots for a while, this latest one fits within the Formula MiniSumo rules and uses this 18X Control Board.
The board give access to all I/O, reset and programming circuitry, on additional button and two LED outputs, 1A low drop out regulator and to fit within the Formula rules a L293 motor driver is used. The battery is being strapped above the controller at the moment - fortunately the motor drive is not running hot!
Strictly, I suppose this is not a finished project... the opponent detection needs to be added but it's now mobile and 80% there
Finished info soon...
regards,
Colin
