Sumobot Project Overview
This project involves the design and construction of an autonomous Sumobot for our Microprocessors course. The goal was to build a robot capable of detecting an opponent and attempting to push it out of a ring, while also avoiding self-elimination.
Key Components:
- ESP32: Acts as the brain of the bot, executing control logic
- 2× DC Motors: Enable directional movement and maneuvering
- L298N Motor Driver: Bridges the ESP32 with the motors
- Ultrasonic Sensor: Used to detect opponents within range
- Power Bank: Provides power to the entire system
- Custom Chassis: Lightweight, compact, and built for agility
The robot was tested in mock sumo battles and showed functional sensor responsiveness and movement control. However, it falls short in aggressive combat performance and is more suited for demonstration or recreational purposes rather than competitive events.
