Hi guys, just wanted to show you my first Minisumo robot. It's the blue one in the video. Its driven by a Netduino Mini.



I split up the executed program into a few different threads, so one is only conserned about the sensors and another controls the motors.

Amazing! Very nice indeed...

I know it's a dumb question, but...why they run so fast?

Just another question...who's "Enova"? I mean, which kind of "brain" powers it?


Biggest fault of Netduino? It runs by electricity.

The point of the game is to shove the other guy out of the ring. The faster your sensors can find your enemy, the faster you move, and having enough traction is important for winning.

This was my very first competition in Sweden (I'm from Norway), and Enova was the world champion from a year or two ago.

They are a polish team, and I think their bot is C++ based on a homegrown PCB. They have two microcontrollers onboard. One exclusively for sensors, and one for motors.

Each bot has a startmodule (startmodule.com) which ensures that they start at the same time using an IR remote.

In april there'll be a couple hundred robots in Wien for an annual competition. Robotchallenge.org. I haven't been there yet, but can hopefully go next year.

It's just a matter of time: C# will definitely beat C++, and the world will be a nice place to live...(and programming machines will be feasible without brain transplant)

April in Wien? Really? Do you mean this year (2015)? At the end of April I should travel very close to Wien: let me know the details...

Oh!...My chance would be near the end of April, not before.

Definitely better the next year, so I'll take the chance to visit the city once again (really worthwhile).

Cheers
