I&#8217;ve got to find a new, stronger battery that will still fit in the same form factor as the original one is just too weak for the latest GM11 motors I installed.<\/p>\n<p>And I will probably make a new circuit board, those wire patches just look too ugly and I want to improve the layout of the line sensors and will probably raise the forward-looking sensors slightly.<\/p>\n<p>And I really, really need to write some good software for it. I never did figure out what was wrong with the sensors at Robothon, but I&#8217;m sure its a software problem.<\/p>\n<p>Hope you find the project as interesting as I did. The next likely competition I will enter will be the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.robotgames.net\/\">Western Canadian Robot Games<\/a>, typically held in May every year in Calgary. I went out there this past May (pictures <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bobandeileen.com\/gallery2\/main.php?g2_itemId=1452\">here<\/a>) and had a great time but next year I will have a really cool minisumo to show off!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just finished uploading some more photos of the most recent minisumo project The Thin Man.
