SumoBot WX Tutorial Series

The SumoBot WX Competition Kit with the FLiP Multicore Microcontroller combines what we love about robotics: the easy-to-use BlocklyProp visual programming language; a pair of robots that autonomously battle for dominance in a Sumo ring; and experiential learning throughout the tutorials — one wheel revolution at a time.

This series-in-progress is divided into sections to guide you through the tutorials whether you are in the classroom, or DIY-learning at home.  We strongly recommend following them in order, unless you are exprienced with the Propeller FLiP, robotics, or BlocklyProp programming.
