If you think one robot is interesting, wait until you see two of them battling for control Sumo-style. The SumoBot® Robot is a competition-ready robot designed within the Northwest Robot Mini-Sumo Tournament rules. This little pusher will locate and knock its opponent right out of the ring while detecting the outside circle should an escape move be necessary.

Hold your wrestling matches on the durable 36 x 36 in. SumoBot Robot Competition Ring Poster as described in Applied Robotics with the SumoBot; available separately and as part of the 2-robot SumoBot Robot Competition Kit.
