What is SumoBots?
In the SumoBots League, students make autonomous LEGO robots with the goal of pushing their opponents off a round SumoBots ring. Robots are equipped with sensors and innovative attachments that help your bot outsmart and out maneuver your opponent. Teams are 1-3 students and build 1 autonomous robot. Teams meet 1-2 times a week.
Specifications
Robots will be checked before competition to see if they fit in a designated space and weight. Robots must fit in a 12x12x12in cube. Robots cannot exceed a weight of 3lbs. Robots can expand after the beginning of the match. All robots can be coded with any language but, currently, must use the EV3 system.
