RoboSumo Competition

Our LEGO remote control project needed a focus to bring it all together, so . . . we sent our robots into a Sumo ring!  We have distilled a simple set of rules for our remote-control Sumo, based on a four foot circular ring that you try to push your opponent from.  Remember, Robo-Sumo is a contest of pushing and maneuver, not a robotic combat competition !

Alternate game ideas are possible, of course.  We have also considered RoboSoccer, using four controllers (two on a side, played on a 4 x 8 foot table), Capture the Flag, and others.
