Adafruit Zumo Robot for Arduino

The Pololu Zumo robot, an Arduino-controllable tracked robot, is a compact powerhouse at under 10 cm × 10 cm, meeting Mini Sumo standards with finesse.

Equipped with dual micro metal gearmotors, it delivers substantial torque and a swift speed of up to 60 cm/s, outpacing competitors like the Solarbotics Sumovore. Its silicone tracks are designed for agility and precise control.

The laser-cut stainless steel blade ensures assertive pushes, while the integrated array of six infrared sensors facilitates seamless line following and edge detection. The combination of a 3-axis accelerometer, magnetometer, and gyroscope enhances situational awareness, crucial for strategic maneuvers.

Sound and simple music are effortlessly managed by an onboard buzzer, adding an interactive element to your robot’s capabilities. The control board, compatible with Arduino Uno and Leonardo, features motor drivers, a battery voltage booster, and breakout access to I/O lines and extra sensors, enhancing versatility.

Zumo’s pre-installed libraries simplify hardware integration, backed by sample programs for practical guidance. With no soldering required, simply add 4 AA batteries and a compatible Arduino to unleash its potential.
