SUMO BOT : Build Your Own Remote-Controlled Programmable Sumo-Bot -- need contr

alcurb

I found an unbuilt SUMO BOT : Build Your Own Remote-Controlled Programmable Sumo-Bot kit that I had bought a few years ago but had put in storage for a long while. I want to build it and program it, but I'm missing the CDROM that came with it. What a bummer !!· Needless to say I searched high and low for it. I·also searched on line but turned up nothing. The kit is no longer available (for purchasing another one).·The old support site is dead www.tabrobotkit.com and the email addresses for Myke Predko I found are invalid and Ben Wirz will not answer my message to him I put through Facebook. McGraw-Hill Professional were uncooperative. I wrote to Ben Wirz' business, but I got no answer either. I'm at a dead end and need help.

Could anyone help me find the CDROM or its contents?· I'm mostly interested in construction details and programming instructions. Schematics and other programs would be a plus.

Thanks.

Franklin

I think that Parallax Sumo bot is quite different from the TAB kit. I have one somewhere, but not sure if the instrux CD is in there. I'll have to dig it out and see.

If you use the internet archive http://www.archive.org/ you can use can resurrect long dead web sites and pull content off them.

Here's their URL for www.tabrobotkit.com from 2008 before it went DOA:

The wayback machine it useful and kinda scary at the same time.

Thanks, Franklin, but your post is for the parallax sumo bot; the Tab Sumo Bot kit is a different kit.

Thanks Martin_H, I was able to pull some files off of that. The wayback is way cool. However, the most important file for construction and initial programming is still elusive.
