Sumo Robot

My main project this year 2011 is designing and building a sumo robot. I have my university support (UPCT). They give me all the materials, place, tools, help ... The idea is to participate in the National League of the robotic competition.

All the rules of the competition are ilustrated in the David Cook's page.

 Today is nearly 14th February and i'm going to start the construction. I already have all the components at home. The objective is to have prepaired everything for Cosmobot competition (19th March). I think the steps are:

Goals	Fecha
Schematic design, buy the electronic components and register	21 Feb
chassis design and rute the PCB.	25 Feb
Make the PCB, solder the ic and test the hardware	3 Mar
Manufacter the wheels and fabricate the final chassis	5 Mar
Basis test with all mounting	7 Mar
Programming	14 Mar
edge	14-18 Mar

Soon I will update the blog with more details.
