Cost: $250
Time to Build: 200 hrs

Seeker II is my next-generation stealth mini-sumo. It is under 10 cm x 10 cm in its normal start position. It is 1.5" high, and weighs in at almost exactly 500 grams. Seeker II is very fast and very aggressive.

Hey Jhighland,


Did you know that I learnt a lot from your PIC design, hard and soft.


So thanks for the help you have been for Greenbot.
