Micro:bit sumo robot

Firmware and hardware design files for the TimeExpander.com Micro:bit based robot

The bot features two motor bridges, 3 x time of flight sensors, 4 x reflective object sensors and a GPIO Expander.

Toolchain for building the firmware is the mBed online compiler.

You can watch one of the demo state machines in action here: https://youtu.be/_6B225iNg58
