JCM SAMrI Min Sumobot


JCM Minisumo robot kit with Sensie programming software.

Designed for the Western Canadian Robotics Society as a powerful, low cost but user friendly and easy to build sumo wrestling robot featuring twin Fairchild QRD1114 edge detection sensors, the SAMrI is a great kit for learning about the principles of electronic fabrication, programming, and mechanical design.

Fully programmable and highly expandable.

Comes with and excellent manual detailing construction techniques and theory of operation.

Out of the box, it is a great minisumo robot, but may be also used as a competition line follower, soccer bot, or custom programmed to do whatever you like! It is immensely upgradeable and expandable.

The kit contains over 40 quality components!

The JCM SAMrI sumobot is a great low cost way to get started in mini robot sumo or many other programmable robot activities.

The SAMrI ( Society Autonomous Minisumo Robot, Intelligent: pronounced SAMURI ) was designed at the outset to be easy to build, yet allow the builder to be involved in selecting gear ratios and building his/her own gearbox, bending and forming the metal chassis, soldering the circuit board, and customizing the robots own program.

SUMO Sensei Application:

No Programming Experience Necessary!

This application, free with the SAMrI, is an all-in-one code generator, compiler, and downloader for your robot.
