During the May 12 Robot competition, I, master of robot-sumo ceremonies, will be hosting a vicious battle between destructive robot wresters!!! To explain more clearly, I'm inviting you and/or a team to compete in a tournament-style Robot Sumo competition. What is Robot Sumo? Read below!
Rules of Robot Sumo:
1. You or your team will construct a robot sumo. This is a LEGO NXT Robot, which includes a central brick updated to the most current software.
2. Before the competition, a program will be downloaded onto your robot by me, or an authorized person. This is a program that will connect your robot to a remote control via bluetooth (I will provide remote controls, but you are allowed to construct your own. Please contact me if you wish to do so.)
3. Two robots are placed in an area, connected to remote controls via bluetooth, and then the match will start.
4. The goal of the match is to push the other robot off the ring, without at the same time falling off yourself. The winner will advance in a bracket-based system, and eventually fight to become THE CHAMPION.
This could be your Robot! Winning!
NOTES:
A. Rules judgements will be made by qualified referees. These judgements are final.
B. Occasionally, determined randomly, additional elements will be added to matches. These may or may not (designs are still in the works, but guess which one is a deliberate fake!) include "Tilting Floor", "Blindfolded Drivers", "Throwing Beanbags at the Enemy", and "The field is covered in lit gasoline". (Hint: the fake one involves fire.) The purpose is to make matches more interesting, even though the additional elements may cause one team to win (not deliberately).
C. It is very important to register you or your team before May 12 so that I may create a proper chart of the events. Please see below.
