I’m ten years old and I just started programming 2 weeks ago. Step 1: Parts Check Step 2: Placing the LEDs on the breadboard […]

Arduino Fighting Robots

Ardusumo: an Open Source Platform for Fighting Robots using Arduino

The idea Ardusumo is a universal platform to build robots on wheels that can move around avoiding obstacles using infrared sensors and follow routes marked with dark lines on a white background. We have created Ardusumo to bring young students to the world of robotics: if suitably programmed, Ardusumo allows robots to perform various autonomous […]
