    Hi Lester,

    It's http://www.tabrobotkit.com

    On the page, I have included quite a bit of background information on the
    robot including the first PDF on the CD-ROM, the "Assembly Instructions" for
    the robot as well as some sample applications, the schematic diagram and the
    PICmicro MCU source code listing used for the PIC16C505 which is used for
    controlling the different interfaces along with providing the basis for some
    "behaviors".

    There is also a list of commonly asked "Questions and Answers" as well as
    additional reference information and places where the robot can be
    purchased.

    If you have any specific questions about it, please let me know.

    myke

    Allan -

    Just as a matter of curiosity, what prevents you from replacing the BS-2 on the
    Tab Robot with (say) a BS-2SX or BS-2P24 ?

    The Tab Sumobot uses an integrated BS2, much like our own Sumo/Toddler
    boards.

    Is it possible to build a equally functional SumoBot with the board of
    education? If so, would it be harder than with the SumoBot board?

    Sure, but if you want to use it for mini Sumo, you'd have to mount it
    vertically to fit into the 10 cm x 10 cm (3.9" x 3.9") box. The
    Parallax SumoBot board is purpose-designed, and makes things pretty
    easy.

    PS: It's better to put your responses to threads at the top lest the get
    lost in the mix of text.
