The Hampton Roads Mindstorms Users Group (HRMUG) is sponsoring a series of
SUMO-theme meetings and exhibitions during the second quarter.

Our meetings are held the third Saturday of each month from 2-4 PM.  April's
meeting will be at the Pretlow Public Library in the Ocean View section of
Norfolk.  Pretlow is at the intersection of Granby Street and Ocean View
Avenue, about 1 mile from I-64.

Our SUMO arena is a 4 ft X 4 ft plywood sheet, painted primer white with an
8 inch wide flat-black circle with outer diameter approximately 4 ft.  The
objective is to 'push' or otherwise get the opponent to exit the white
circle of the arena.  Except for a maximum size of 1 ft in any dimension and
no weaponry designed to cause damage, the rules are up in the air.  We'll
make some concrete rules at the next meeting.

Other club activities include a MOC display and contest, BYOB (Bring your
own Bricks), and a Freestyle Play area (for those who just want to play with
some bricks.)

For more information, just post or e-mail me.  I check these boards every
few days.
