The Zumo Robot is an Arduino-based tracked robot that is less than 10 cm × 10 cm, which qualifies it for mini sumo competitions. Power is provided by two micro metal gearbox motors, and it features a stainless steel bulldozer-like blade for pushing around the competition. It has six infrared sensors for line following or edge detection, an accelerometer, a magnetometer, gyroscope, and a buzzer, allowing you to play your favourite victory song. No soldering required – just add four AA batteries and an Arduino, and you’ll be all set for some robotic sumo wrestling.
They rate the Zumo 9 out of 10, saying “A clean looking bot.”
