We had a great meeting in March with more robots than we've seen in a while. The
challenge was to build a sorting robot, and there were a couple of really good
ones! I was very impressed with what people came up with.
This month’s mini-challenge is to build a sumo robot. The distinguishing feature
this time is it will be 3-way sumo. That is, there will be three robots on the
ring at the same time.
Our build rules (since it’s a competition, and not entirely free build) is that
robots must weigh under 3 pounds, and may not be larger than 12”x12” at any
time. They must be built entirely out of LEGO using standard building
techniques, and you may not intentionally damage an opponent.
The arena will have a white surface with a narrow black rim. I think Mark said
his arena is a 4’ wide octagon.
That’s it. Have fun!
Mark Kenworthy will be running the meeting as I'll be out of town.
