## Overview

The Zumo Robot for Arduino v1.2 by Pololu is a robust, low-profile tracked robot platform designed for Arduino enthusiasts. Featuring powerful 75:1 HP motors, a stainless steel sumo blade, and advanced reflectance sensors, this robot is perfect for both competitive robotics and educational projects. Lightweight and compact, it’s the ideal choice for makers looking to innovate and engage.

## Description

Integrated 75:1 HP micro metal gearmotors that offer a good blend of speed (up to 2 feet per second), power, and control. Mounted array of six IR reflectance sensors that allows the Zumo to detect contrasts in reflectivity directly beneath its blade, which can be used for following lines or detecting edges (e.g. the white outer area of a sumo ring or the edge of a table). Integrated DRV8835 dual motor drivers capable of delivering enough current for the Zumo’s two high-power gearmotors. Piezo buzzer for playing simple sounds and music. The buzzer is controlled by one of the Arduino’s PWM outputs, so tones can be generated in the background without taking up a lot of processing power.

## Features

- This Zumo robot is a low-profile tracked robot platform intended for use with an Arduino (or compatible device, such as an A-Star 32U4 Prime) as its main controller.
- It uses two 75:1 HP micro metal gearmotors to drive the treads, providing plenty of torque and a top speed of approximately 2 feet per second (60 cm/s).
- The Zumo robot includes a 0.036"-thick laser-cut stainless steel sumo blade mounted to the front of the chassis for pushing around objects like other robots.
- The Zumo robot has a reflectance sensor array mounted along the front edge of the Zumo (behind the sumo blade) allows the Zumo to detect features on the ground in front of it, such as lines for following or edges for avoiding.
- Required Accessories (Not Included): Arduino or compatible control board (Arduino Uno, Leonardo, NOT COMPATIBLE with Mega or Due). Four AA batteries (Alkaline or NiMH).

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this come with a remote control?**
A: Hello, This robot does not come with a remote control. It does have an IR sensor so it can be programmed to perform functions when IR signals are sent. If we may assist you in any way, please do not hesitate to contact us.Thank you,InkBright

**Q: Incluye en programa para arduino nano y para modificarlo por que deceamos agregar otros dos motores ?**
A: Saludos! Respuesta: no incluye librerías. Mi sugerencia es que las busques en blogs o en tutoriales de programación de servos con Arduino. Hay mucha literatura referente. En cuanto a que van a agregar 2 motores extras, pregunta: ¿son para darle mayor potencia, o para aditamentos? en todo caso pueden instalar un shield  para motores de Arduino nano y tendrán la opción de agregar mayor cantidad de motores dc, servos o a pasos. Si quieres incorporarlos al interior del bot lo veo complicado pues no tiene mucho espacio interno disponible.

¡Mucho éxito en tu proyectos!
