Parallax MiniSumo at Robothon 2013

Carol Hazlett

I was going through my videos from last years Robothon competition here in Seattle and found this one of a Parallax mini sumo going against my Minds-I design. I have redesigned my robot after this contest!
I hope you enjoy it.

Can not get link to upload to this post the format is too long. If you Google Hazlett Mini_sumo it will come up there.

Is it this one? Sure looks like fun.:thumb::thumb:

Looks like the Parallax machine had a slight weight advantage.

Can't wait to see the new version you have built.

Yep, that is the one. This is a picture of the rebuild. We are having a mini-Robothon at the SRS meeting on Saturday Aug. 16th and I will get a video of it in action there. What happened with the old one is I had plows on both sides and when the Parallax bot pushed on my plow it lifted my wheels off the floor. If you look closely you can see my wheels hanging in the air and spinning.

Are there regulations about the Plow angle?
Are there regulations? or is this some kind of 'run wut ya brung' lawless free for all?, kinda like erco's figure eight challenge.

This is the yearly contest put on by the Seattle Robotics Society at the Seattle Center. We have our rules posted on the website Robothon.org and on the SRS website seattlerobotics.org. This year Robothon 2014 will be held on September 20.
