The Pololu Zumo 32U4 robot is a versatile tracked robot based on the Arduino-compatible ATmega32U4 MCU, and this kit contains most of the parts you need to build one—all you need to add are a pair of micro metal gearmotors and four AA batteries. It includes integrated dual motor drivers, an LCD, quadrature encoders, line sensors, side and front proximity sensors, and a full IMU. The assembled robot is less than 10 cm × 10 cm—small enough to qualify for Mini Sumo. This product is a kit; assembly (including soldering) is required.


Overview

The Zumo 32U4 is a highly integrated, user-programmable and customizable tracked robot. It measures less than 10 cm on each side and weighs approximately 275 g with batteries (170 g without), so it is both small enough and light enough to qualify for Mini-Sumo competitions, but its versatility makes it capable of much more than just robot sumo battles.

 

At the heart of the Zumo 32U4 is an Atmel ATmega32U4 AVR microcontroller, and like our A-Star 32U4 programmable controllers, the Zumo 32U4 features a USB interface and ships preloaded with an Arduino-compatible bootloader. A software add-on is available that makes it easy to program the robot from the Arduino environment, and we have Arduino libraries and example sketches to help get you started. A USB A to Micro-B cable (not included) is required for programming. For advanced users who want to customize or enhance their robots with additional peripherals, the robot’s power rails and microcontroller’s I/O lines can be accessed via 0.1″-spaced through-holes along the sides and front of the main board.

The Zumo 32U4 features two H-bridge motor drivers and a variety of integrated sensors, including a pair of quadrature encoders for closed-loop motor control, a complete inertial measurement unit (3-axis accelerometer, gyro, and magnetometer), five downward-facing reflectance sensors for line-following or edge-detection, and front- and side-facing proximity sensors for obstacle detection and ranging. Three on-board pushbuttons offer a convenient interface for user input, and an LCD, buzzer, and indicator LEDs allow the robot to provide feedback.

 

The Zumo 32U4 robot is available fully assembled with three different motor options (see the Motors section below for more information on how these different gear ratios perform):

The Zumo 32U4 robot is also available as a kit (without motors) for those who would prefer to assemble it themselves or who want to use different motors than those in the three assembled versions.

Kit contents

With the exception of motors, batteries, and a USB A to Micro-B cable, this kit contains everything necessary to build and operate a Zumo 32U4 robot:

See the Zumo 32U4 robot user’s guide for detailed assembly instructions.

 

Motors (not included with item #3124)

The Zumo chassis uses two micro metal gearmotors, one for each tread. The ideal motors for your robot depend on your desired torque, speed, and current draw, so motors are not included with the kit version of the chassis (motors are included with the assembled versions of the Zumo 32U4 robot). We generally recommend using high-power (HP or HPCB, which have long-life carbon brushes) versions of our micro metal gearmotors since the tracks require a decent amount of torque to move effectively; higher gear ratios of the non-HP motors might work if you want lower current draw, but they will be slower and offer less control. Specifically, we primarily recommend the 50:1, 75:1, or 100:1 HP (or HPCB) motors for use with this chassis, and these are the versions we include in our assembled Zumo 32U4 robot. Additionally, be sure to get a version with extended motor shafts if you want to be able to use the Zumo 32U4’s encoders.

You can use the following table to compare these three gear ratios in more detail. The first four columns are specifications of the motors themselves, while the last column is the measured top speed of a Zumo chassis loaded to a weight of 500 g and driven with these motors. Note that the specifications are for 6V operation, which is approximately the voltage you would get with four alkaline batteries; four NiMH AA cells will typically provide less than 5V.

Batteries (not included)

The Zumo 32U4 robot runs off of four AA batteries. It works with both alkaline and NiMH batteries, though we recommend using rechargeable AA NiMH cells.

Excellent tray
Color: Sand Brown, Size: 9.5in x 7.9in
This is an exceptionally high-quality tray. The design was well thought out and it looks amazing. I keep it in my top dresser drawer to organize extra cards for my wallet, my watch, cufflinks, and other items. I can’t say enough about the high level of quality. It stays in place, has great storage and very reasonably priced I thought.

Luxurious
Color: Sand Brown, Size: 9.5in x 7.9in
Firstly, I was very impressed by the packaging and attention to detail, from the box to the lovely wrapping. I purchased the brown and the tray is beautiful with the two-tone. I love the tree imprint on the inside. It looks very rich and the leather has a great feel to it. I also like that the logo was imprinted at the bottom/back. This would make a great gift. Great product!

Perfect for a vanity or shelf! You can easily get to all of the stuff in there too!
Color: Bright White, Color: Bright White
Perfect for all my face stuff. It has a lot of options for placement of things. It’s sturdy. The drawers slide in and out really well. I love the white too. It’s clean and sleek looking. Really happy it stores Medicube products! Wasn’t sure if it would! 🤍

Exactly what I needed! Stores a ton!
Color: Black
PERFECT! This is exactly what I was looking for to organize and de-clutter my bedside table. I have a ton of "lotions and potions" because I'm a beauty product junkie (and as we all know Amazon is a beauty addict's best friend, so needless to say I've accumulated a lot of products). Let's just say my bedside table looked like an Ulta had exploded. I hunted around for an organizer, but none of the others were quite to my taste or needs. This one, however, is absolutely perfect! Despite being made of your basic black plastic, it feels surprisingly well build and has some decent weight to it. The drawers slide perfectly and there aren't any of those little manufacturing imperfections that you sometimes find on plastic products like this. The spaces are all structured in a way that allows plenty of space for a variety of products of different shapes and sizes while still holding them all securely. The top/back (right side) slot is divided into 2 equal sized compartments that easily have enough room for things like full size lotion bottles, hair spray, etc., the middle slot is just one open space and also has plenty of room for full size products or styling tools, and the lowest/front slot is split into 3 equal sized compartments that are perfect for things like smaller face lotion bottles, essential oils, lip balms, nail polish, etc. (you can fit several of such smaller items in each of the 3 lowest compartments). The drawers are surprisingly generous in their size! I was able to fit a ton of whitening strips, full size nail files, hair clips, tweezers, and much, much more in each drawer. Then you have the upper left side which also holds a ton of items (I have all of my serums, facial cream jars, eye makeup remover pads, and some essential oils up there). In fact I was quite shocked and pleased to see just how much this organizer was able to hold, yet it doesn't feel too bulky or oversized. I couldn't be more happy with this purchase! Well worth the $20 in order to keep my table looking sleek and my products easy to find. :)
