This is a model and OpenSCAD file for a mold used to make silicone SimpleSumo robot mini-sumo tires.
The stock tires on the SimpleSumo kits can be improved upon by making your own out of a higher friction material. I made my own using silicone molding putty and a diy version of Sugru, both worked well though the oogoo experience was messy.
