Hi,

I'm new to robotics, and I seen an episode of systm that recommended starting with sumo robots. I have all the parts I need to make a sumo bot, but I do not have the "brains", what do you recommend to use?

    If you are a beginner programmer, then the BS2 is for you. The basic stamp can make a pretty nice sumo bot, and there are several flavors of the stamp for you to choose from. I'd recommend using either the BS2 or BS2e, since they are compatible with all the example code in the books and on product pages. The BS2 goes well with the Board of Education.

    As for learning on how to use it, take a look at the Parallax downloads page. There several books there that you can read, the most relevant of them being:

    Robotics With the BOE-BOT
    What's a Microcontroller?
    Basic Stamp Syntax and Reference Manual

    They sell SUMO bot kits on Parallax's site. THey are essentially BOE-BOts with 1 extra component ( I diff type of IR sensor) and a sumo bot style chasis. The rest is the same.
