It’s official: JSumo has added Circuit.Rocks to its global Distributors page as the recognized Philippines dealer. That listing is the culmination of our first partnership order with the JSumo team in Istanbul — and it means every JSumo robotics line we stock, from sumo and mini-sumo competition kits to the XMotion all-in-one controller and the JS40F / JS60F infrared sensors, is now available locally with Philippine peso pricing and same-day Manila cutoff.
For Filipino robotics teams, schools, and competition coaches: this drops the lead time on JSumo gear from 2-3 weeks of international shipping (with customs surprises) down to in-country fulfillment. Replacements for tournament-week breakage no longer require an emergency international order.
What JSumo makes — and what we stock
JSumo is a Turkish robotics specialist that has been building competition-grade hardware since 2012. Their catalog is purpose-built for robotics sport: sumo, mini sumo, micro sumo, and line follower categories. Browse the full Circuit.Rocks JSumo collection for everything in stock.
Highlights of what’s available locally:
- Sumo and mini sumo chassis + mechanical kits — competition-rated frames built for the 500 g, 1 kg, and 3 kg weight classes. Pre-cut metal plates, mounting hardware, and the correct stack of standoffs included.
- JS40F and JS60F infrared distance sensors — digital range sensors with background-suspension processing. Critical for sumo opponent detection without false-triggering on the dohyo lines.
- XMotion all-in-one Arduino-compatible controller — combines microcontroller, dual motor driver, voltage regulator, and sensor headers on one board. Cuts the wiring footprint of a sumo build roughly in half.
- DC gear motors and silicone wheel sets — competition-spec motors paired with traction-tuned silicone tyres. The wheel sets are also sold as replacement tyres for teams running multiple events.
- Line follower chassis and infrared line sensor arrays — for school-level line follower competitions, including the JSumo IR sensor brackets that bolt onto their chassis without extra adapters.
- Battery management circuits, LiPo batteries (1S through 6S), and JST connectors — the full competition-grade power chain, including indicators and panel meters.
Why this matters for Philippine robotics teams
Robotics sport in the Philippines runs on tight deadlines. National qualifiers, school-level meets, and the larger Asia-Pacific tournaments don’t wait for international parcels. Having JSumo gear stocked in Manila means:
- Teams can rebuild a broken robot the day before a competition without scrambling.
- Coaches can spec a tournament-ready stack from one in-country supplier, with consistent pricing across orders.
- Schools running structured robotics programs can place class POs without having to consolidate shipments.
- Customer inquiries originating in the Philippines will now be redirected to us directly by JSumo’s HQ for localized fulfillment and support.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does JSumo make and how is it different from generic robotics parts?
JSumo is a Turkish robotics specialist building competition-grade hardware for sumo, mini sumo, micro sumo, and line follower categories. Unlike generic Arduino kits, JSumo parts are engineered for the specific demands of robotics sport – traction-tuned silicone wheels, weight-class-correct chassis, and IR sensors with background-suspension processing that won’t false-trigger on a sumo dohyo’s white border.
Can our school’s robotics team get bulk pricing for a competition season?
Yes. Email the contact line at Circuit.Rocks with your roster size and the categories you’ll be running (mini sumo, line follower, etc.). We can quote a team-pack discount and ensure inventory is reserved ahead of qualifier season.
What will students learn building a JSumo sumo robot from scratch?
Mechanical assembly (precise chassis mounting and gearmotor alignment), embedded programming on the XMotion controller, sensor calibration for IR distance detection and line edge sensing under tournament lighting, and competition strategy – how a sumo robot’s algorithm balances aggression against ring-out risk. Skills transfer directly to any embedded robotics project.
