Totem battle bot

REAL LIFE ENGINEERING

Mini Troopers are made from solid and durable parts that are used in higher level robotics. Learn to use robotics tools and discover real life engineering solutions.

 

Compatible with

Arduino PlatformIO Qwiic

This kit includes our latest RoboBoard X3 control board (replaces older Mini Control Board). It contains Arduino programming, 3.7V battery with USB charging, DC and Servo motor control, accelerometer and gyroscope, wireless capabilities for remote control and Internet access. More features can be added using available Qwiic connector and GPIO pins for custom control and communications.

 

Solid parts:

  • 1x RoboBoard X3 – robot development board with Arduino programming and wireless connectivity.
  • 3x Motors: 2 x DC; 1 x Servo.
  • 1x Battery – LiPo, 3.7 V, 250 mAh.
  • 1x USB-C cable for charging and programming.
  • Mechanical parts: sturdy parts, made from PC/ABS plastic, just like in real life engineering. 
  • Tools: Totem Magnetic Screwdriver with super strong magnetic grip and other tools needed for the assembly included.

 

Features:

  • Push potential: 1200 g.
  • Lifting potential: 170 g.
  • Speed: 0.9 m/s.
  • Weight: ~310 g.
  • Battery life: 25 min.
  • Assembly time: ~4 hours.

 

Action games:

Play solo robot games or invite your friends for robot action games.

Build your own mini fighting trooper and prove who is the best battle robot operator!

Make your own arena: we suggest using adhesive tape for simple arenas, however we encourage to use your imagination.

Let the games begin! Flip and smash your way to victory with Totem Mini Trooper fighting robots.

Do not forget: Mini Trooper is easy to modify and customize after each battle.

 

ROBOT WARS: SUMO

Make a field with the tape.

Player, who gets out of bounds for 5 times, loses.

ROBOT WARS: FLIPPER

Flip your opponent while avoiding getting flipped.

Note: when your opponent is upside down you have to let him recover.

Player who turns over his opponent 10 times wins.

ROBOT WARS: BATTLE ROYALE

Combination of Flipper and Sumo. Use bigger area.

Round time: 10 minutes.

3-points for a flip; 1-point for taking opponent out of bounds.

FOOTBALL

Make a field with the tape and use Totem pick as a ball.

Try to get the ball to the opponents goal box!

 

 And many more solo games: Mini Golf, Mini Pool, Speed Run!

 

Assembly video with tips

Routine Car Maintenance: Before each game please inspect your Mini Trooper to see if everything works properly. Most common issues:

  • Bolts become loose because of intense usage – tighten them periodically;
  • Frame losing shape because of heavy contact – adjust brackets’ positions periodically.

 

 

Remote control

RoboBoard can be remotely controlled using Totem smartphone app with predefined controls or custom ones for your own project. Application allows to create buttons with variable parameters and intercept them in Arduino code.
All this functionality is integrated into Totem software and enabled with a few lines of code: https://docs.totemmaker.net/roboboard/api/totemapp/

Also, ESP32 enables access to the Internet or even interact with wireless gamepad controllers.

 

Software features

RoboBoard is well integrated with Arduino framework. Most of the features are accessible with single line of code without require for external libraries. Even allows to setup drivetrain algorithms or control motor speed and acceleration. See API specifications: https://docs.totemmaker.net/roboboard/api/

Compatible with Arduino IDE and PlatfomIO. Check for setup instructions: https://docs.totemmaker.net/setup/

 

Extensions

RoboBoard is a single board for all robotic needs. It contains some most common features, but can be expanded with additional Qwiic modules. Even third-party modules works with integrated motor drivers. For custom controls or communications – available GPIO pins can be used (compatible with general Arduino libraries).

Information for interacting with Qwiic and GPIO pins: https://docs.totemmaker.net/roboboard/api/gpio-qwiic/

 

Other kits

 

Totem robots (including Mini Trooper) use our developed RoboBoard X3 to control motors and other accessories. Here are some examples of what can be made with it:
