Summary

The Zumo 32U4 robot consists of the Zumo chassis, the Zumo 32U4 Main Board, and the Zumo 32U4 Front Sensor Array. It has an integrated AVR ATmega32U4 microcontroller, motor drivers, encoders, proximity sensors, line sensors, buzzer, four buttons, LCD connector, LSM303D accelerometer, and L3GD20H gyro. The user's guide for the Zumo 32U4 robot is here:
