No, my gearmotors do not have any encoders, and yes, I do full PWM on them to control the speed.

End to end length of the motors and wheels is just under 4"...

Nothing. You really don't need it on a mini-sumo ring...

Sweet Looking robot. I can't wait to go up against it some time.

You going to bring it to San Francisco next June?

Thanks Pete. Assuming I actually get out to San Fran next year, I will bring it, definitely.

So, the 2009 Canadian National Robot Games are almost upon us (2 weeks from today, in fact). I decided to do a final push and finish this robot...

Its almost done - all that is left is molding the right tire, doing the front scoop, painting, and some software work.

Yes, the lid (and a few other pieces) are printed. Yes, I have a 3D printer now (Dimension uPrint).

Nice job Jon!

It must be a real treat to be able to fab parts like that! Not your usual hobbyist tool.

I see that it is a step between Seeker II and your Fast Fast Fast, robomaniac :)
