Hi,

I'm currently doing a project entitled "autonomous sumo robot". You can take a look at typical sumo robot here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGWCPavtZec

Well, I'm pretty sure that the shape of those sumo robots are beyond your expectation. Haha.. I was expecting the shape to be a humanoid robot myself when I chose this project =p

By the way, in order to design such robot, I need a good track that can provide a good traction to the arena. I'm wondering whether this track is good enough for such application? Is it possible if I order this track with specific dimensions? If not, do you guys have any suggestion about track providers? 

I am a newcomer of robotics world. Any help from you guys would be much appreciated. Thank you very much!!

PS: feel free to contact me via e-mail on alfredosetiabudi@gmail.com

You do not want tracks on a sumo! You need as much grip as possible, and so a small area as possible! Tracks give a large area!

(Much more could be said, but that are the essentials IMHO :)

This track kit is the same as the one above but it isn't assembled. The track segments are various sizes and you connect them to whatever length you need.

So it can only go in a straight line then...
