Sumo won''t turn and moves slowly

Just for clarification, while the TAB Sumo robot uses a BASIC Stamp
microcontroller, it was not designed nor is it officially supported by
Parallax (it's not a Parallax product). Of course, we'll help where we
can with general programming questions, but specific support for that
robot should be addressed to the vendor or dedicated support forums as
Alan pointed out below.

Eliza, is the name "TAB" on the box for your
SumoBot? The TAB publishing company has made a
"Sumobot" package -- that uses the BasicStamp 2,
so you're still in the right place. The TAB
robot does have 4 wheels, and a rubber o-ring
as a 'tread'.
If so, you should aslo check out the 'tabrobot'
forum. The TabRobot uses a 'co-processor' to
control its wheel motors, and they'll have info
on that on the other forum.
