• WELCOME TO TEAM SUMOROLL

    An interactive gaming experience with innovative motion technology.

  • Problem Statement

    The concept behind our project is to create an interactive experience for our players. We have designed a game in which the players each control a Gyrosphere and the idea is for them to knock out each other’s Gyrosphere out of an arena. In our game, the player is their own controller. We give them the ability to use their hands as a remote for the Gyrosphere. This works by having their hand over a Leap Motion Controller. The motions your hand makes are translated on a laptop and are then sent to the microcontroller which is then transmitted to the Gyrosphere. Within the sphere, there is a receiver to receive the signals to tell the motor what to do. The Gyrosphere will be able to move forward, backward, and rotate 360 degrees in both directions.

System Specifications/Requirements
  1. Speed of Gyrosphere: pedestrian speed ~2mph
  2. Material of Gyrosphere: Elastic coating on the outside of shell to protect and buffer against collisions
  3. Final Weight:
    Gyrosphere < 2lb
    Leap Motion Controller < 1lb
  4. Overall Size:
    Leap Motion Controller: ~typical cell phone
    Gyrosphere (Diameter): ~typical tennis ball
  5. Power Supply:
    Gyrosphere: Rechargeable battery,lasts minimum of 30 mins
    Leap Motion Controller: Stable power source
  6. Low delay : <0.25 second latency
  7. Non-interference wireless connection
  8. Motor :~1000 rpm for small wheels
  9. Range of Gesturing: ~2 ft above Leap
  10. Arena: ~10ft2
  1. Gyrosphere will be able to move forward, backward, left, right, and spin.
  2. Gyrosphere will be able to stop right after stop button.
  3. Gyrosphere should respond to User commands quickly.
  4. Two Gyrosphere signals will not interfere with each other.
  5. Gyrospheres will be able to endure collisions of same mass with pedestrian speed.
  6. Gyrosphere should be portable.
  7. We want the entire system to be able to run for at least 30 mins.
