ATLAS, a Robot for Sumo Competitions

Design and Construction of a Mobile Robot for the Venezuelan National Competition USBBOTS 2016.

The main components used in the prototype are:

• Brushless DC Motors.
• Infrared Proximity Sensor:Sharp GP2Y0A21YK.
• Ultrasonic Distance Sensor:HC-SR04.
• Arduino Nano

The Motors

There were used two recicled brushless DC motors. There wasn't found a complete diagram or datasheet for the board, therefore the team reverse engineered the board.

Components:

• SLA6023 : 3-phase motor driver (60V 6A 25W).
• LB1823 : predriver IC developed for driving power brushless motors in office automation applications.
