We have now introduced a Test Remote which is a simple and cheap solution for testing the Start Module at home. It requires no modification of the Start Module since you simply program the Start Module to listen to the Test Remote.
Thanks to a new supplier we have also managed to reduce the cost of the Start Module by quite a lot. Visit the Webshop for more information.
We have ordered a new batch that is currently being produced. It may take a couple of weeks before they are back in stock. If you are in need of start modules and you believe you will need them as soon as we receive the new batch. Please let us know.
Since Tictail who was supplying our webbshop have shut down we had to move the webbshop. It is now integrated into this page. Please let us know if you experience any issues with making any orders.
We also noticed that our “Contact us” page has been out of order so if you have trying to come in contact with us via that page please try again, very sorry for the inconvenience.
Remotes and startmodules are now back in stock, visit the web shop if you are interested in making an order.
Both start modules and remotes are currently out of stock.
However orders have been made from the factory and we expect to have units within 8 weeks.

As requested by several organizations we have now opened a webshop to order startmodules. The webshop is mainly targeted towards organizations and therefore the minimun quantity will be 10 pieces of modules. Visit is at:

Piotr Krzemiński have created a great android app which enables you to use your android smartphone as a remote control to start your sumo robot using the start module.
You will of course need a smartphone which includes an IR transmitter.

Yesterday we got a package with the latest batch of startmodules (200 pcs), so, and after a couple of hours of programming and testing they’re finally finished! This batch came out correct from the manufacturer (as opposed to the last one) so no need to wook reflow them this time around, which also provided a better yield than last time. Also, now there’s silkscreen on the backside, so it’s more easy to see which pin has which function.
Here are some pictures as well (sorry if they are bad, I’m a terrible photographer 😛 ).
