Sumo Bot

Robot Sumo is a fun game where two robots compete in a ring to see which one can be the first to push the other one outside of the ring. This model adds an angled plow to the front of the Line Follower to make a simple but effective Sumo Bot. The driving can be autonomous, remote control, or a combination of both, and the sample programs below will get you started with all three possibilities. You can then modify both the robot design and the programs to try to get an advantage over your opponent. You can make up your own rules for how sumo matches work, but click on the picture gallery above to see the image descriptions for some tips and ideas, and also see the notes below.
