suction cups are actually an interesting idea, inother news, I just got the tires, and also silicon rubber to cast tires and experiment a little. It is worth noting that these robots can move fast, very fast. I¨ll try to get some footage and pics of what i got so far.

I´m aiming for a 499.5g robot, I´m at 447, but no tires or controlboard, it is two wheel drive, with some weight on the front, but mostly on the back (75% to the rear, more or less). People tend to add weight to the front to ensure that they will lift the other robot (more weight, the blade gets...

Imports are a slow here, but I will definitely buy some samples to try. You are allowed to make repairs, so even if they only last one match, with that friction, they would be perfect. Thanks!

Well that is something defiantly worth looking in to, but I haven´t seen those in my country. Also, I don´t think I mention these, but no adhesives are not allowed and you get penalized if you damage the dohyo in any way.

It is allowed to have a "scraper" (don´t have a better way to describe it) on front to get the other robot a bit on top of you, that will get the effect you refer to. I design my robot to take advantage of these and get better traction, but one with a sharper scraper could get these effect to...

Thanks!, looking forward to meet lots of great people. :P

Hi, I was recently tasked to build a mini-sumo robot (10x10cm. 500g. the objective is to push your opponent out of a 75cm. diameter arena or dohyo), and I was wondering about the tires that I'm going to use. I want to increase the friction coefficient as much as I can, so I was wondering how to...

Hi, I am starting electronics engineering, I hope to learn new thing in here :D
