Lego Robot Wars - How to Build the Sumobot

rocklobster9099 requested a video of how to make the Sumobots. Be aware the first video I uploaded had mistakes! There are some notes you should read if you want to build this:

1] The floating blue brick in Step 4 attaches to the battery box

2] For football matches I simply added two axles to the front of each Sumobot

3] To add the power functions you will need to take the chassis apart (the program I used to create these instructions did not have the PF parts)

4] Cost of power functions: £39.57 from Lego Shop@home

5] Cost of other parts: (roughly) £7.00 from Lego Shop@home and Bricklink (you'll need to use both or improvise with your own collection)

6] Create a soft landing space, because the Sumobots will break from a fall!

Build, destroy, modify and enjoy - and if you do, post a video of it in action!!

when you get the power functions pack do you get a receaver for the remote or wat do you need the remote and wat ?

[ochayedonald]

@RyleeVuich

You buy each power function seperately - motor, battery, transmitter, reciever.

For this you need to buy 2 motors, one battery box, one transmitter and one reciever.

just wanted to know if those battle robots was 2,3 or 4 wheels.

the motor system is easy to use. the little electro piece that catches the signals from the control should be connected to the battery pack and the electro piece should just up or 2.3. down. then just connect the motors on the electro piece and use the control.

@1JackXx1

Yes, pretty much. These ones are two-wheeled, with two plates underneath that act as castors

Do you mean all pieces or just electronics?

Only the receiver is directly attached to the battery box, but in this contruction the piece holding on the receiver is also attached to the battery box (hence why it is floating in the instructions)

[Bzking23]

so everything must be connected to the battery box or can some things be alone?

It uses tank-style steering, look up the power functions transmitter for better understanding
