Autonomous Sumo-Wrestling Robot

For this project, my team and I engineered a sumo-wrestling robot that uses infrared sensors to navigate a circular arena. I programmed the ATmega328P microcontroller in C to manage the robot's movement and periphery components, ensuring the system could react instantly to both the ring's edge and the opponent's position. Beyond the software, we handled the full mechanical lifecycle from selecting batteries and motors to hit specific torque targets and 3D printing a chassis that balanced weight requirements with structural durability. The final build featured a custom 3D-printed body and a powertrain we optimized for maximum torque and efficiency.
