We want to start competing with these or oth er kits beginning with the T-Town Beatdown #2 in January. If you are new t o Sumo competitions\, then this workshop would be a good starting point!\n From Patrick's post on Facebook:\nUpdate: 6 Kits left.\nPre orders availab le for the MTRAS Sumo Kit. \n \;\nI am taking pre orders for the MTRAS kit. The kits\, in total\, are limited to 10. \n \;\nThe plan is to h ave a workshop after the November meeting to assemble. It all depends on s hipping and if there are no issues with the test build. If there is an iss ue we will have the workshop after Decembers meeting. \nHere's what you ge t:\nPre assembled\, tested\, MTRAS SUMO PCB with the following hardware:\n \n\nESP32 USB C Wroom 30 Pin with Bluetooth and WiFi\n\n\nMX1508 Dual Moto r Controller\n\n\nOled i2c Display\n\n\nPiezo buzzer (Passive)\n\n\n3.3V V oltage Regulator (Recommended voltage is 4.5 to 9V)\n\n\nMisc: On/Off swit ch\, Push Button 'Start' and all neccesary cables.\n\n\n \;\nSensors: \n\n\n2 x TOF (Time Of Flight) Object detection sensors.\n\n\n2 x Line Sen sors.\n\n\n \;\nBody *Still working on it. \n\n\nLaser cut acrylic fra me. Possibly some 3D printed parts.\n\n\nAll necessary hardware.\n\n\n&nbs p\;\nPropulsion:\n\n\n2 x 6V 300rpm N20 Motors with mounts.\n\n\n2 x Wheel s.\n\n\n \;\nPower:\n\n\n7.4v Li-on 1500mah Battery with USB charger. \n\n\n \;\nCost:\n$75.00 for the entire kit with a $25.00 Cash Back in centive. Yup\, you read it right. Enter your bot in either the T-Town Beat down event or MTRAS Engineering Day (TBD) competition and you get $25.00 c ash handed back to you at the event. This is an MTRAS member only incentiv e right now. \n \;\nPatrick\, are you nuts? Nope. \nWhy $75 and not ju st $50? We've done MTRAS Kit builds in the past and the return retention r ate is 5-10%. What's the point in spending a ton of time and money when pe ople don't come back?Even at $75 its the cheapest kit you can find. \n&nbs p\;\nThese kits are sold at cost. We don't make a dime and actually loose money given the fact our time is not compensated for. The loss in payment is paid back seeing people light up when they build their first robot. See ing someone move on to other projects from what they've gained from an MTR AS kit. Just having fun with other people who share the hobby. \nThe purpo se of this and other kits for MTRAS is to get people into robotics. I trul y believe the biggest barrier for people comes down to cost and support. \n \;\nI will note that in the unfortunate event you are unable to att end either event\, the $25.00 will be forfeited and donated to future even t prizes. \n \;\nStill want a kit?
