1.b. Included components

The Zumo Shield is available:

• by itself;
• as part of a Zumo robot kit for Arduino that also includes a Zumo chassis and a stainless steel Zumo blade; or
• as a fully-assembled Zumo robot for Arduino with 75:1 HP motors and a reflectance sensor array installed.

Zumo Shield

The shield itself comes with the following components:

• right-angle slide switch
• two pushbuttons
• buzzer
• 2-pin battery-charging header
• three jumper wires (for soldering motors to the chassis)
• 40-pin 0.1″ straight breakaway male header
• two blue shorting blocks
• two 5/16″ #2-56 machine screws (to be used instead of the 1/4″ screws included with the chassis kit if you attach a Zumo blade)
• 1/16″ black acrylic spacer plate (two pieces)

Zumo Robot Kit for Arduino

In addition to the shield and its included hardware, the Zumo robot kit for Arduino also includes these components:

• Zumo chassis kit, which includes:
  • Zumo chassis main body
  • 1/16″ black acrylic mounting plate (not used with the Zumo Shield)
  • Two drive sprockets
  • Two idler sprockets
  • Two 22-tooth silicone tracks
  • Two shoulder bolts with washers and M3 nuts
  • Four 1/4″ #2-56 screws and nuts
  • Battery terminals

• Basic sumo blade for Zumo chassis

You will receive the black acrylic spacer and mounting plates with protective paper masking on both sides. You can peel this masking off to expose the acrylic surface, or you can leave it on to increase the thickness of the plates.

The shield and chassis kit include extra parts like jumper wires, screws, nuts, and washers, so do not be concerned if you have some leftover hardware after assembling your Zumo.

Zumo Robot for Arduino

The Zumo robot for Arduino is a fully-assembled robot platform built from the same components found in the Zumo robot kit for Arduino, along with these additions:

• Two 75:1 HP micro metal gearmotors
• Zumo reflectance sensor array
