Sumo robotics

Sumo robotics involves designing and programming small robots to compete in a match similar to traditional sumo wrestling. The goal is for one robot to force the other out of a designated circular area using strategy, sensors, and movement. Robots are equipped with sensors like infrared or ultrasonic to detect their opponent and boundaries. The challenge tests engineering skills in mechanics, control systems, and programming, emphasizing precise maneuvering and decision-making. Sumo robotics promotes hands-on learning, innovation, and competitive engineering, encouraging participants to develop effective tactics and reliable hardware to outperform their opponent within the rules.
