Re: Robot Sumo is Real Sumo...

What if you took old parts from past years and made some robots. You could make rules about their size and weight. Let's say a foot print of 12" by 12" or 30 cm by 30 cm, with a height limit of 10 in or 25 cm and a weight limit of 20-25 lbs or the equivalent in metric units. The circle could be 8-10 feet in Dia. You could have bigger robots and arenas for different weight classes, and have two ways of playing, one human controlled and the other autonomous with their sensors guiding them. This might be a good way to start new FRC and/or Vex teams. A couple of us should start designing it right now, and maybe by this time next year, we could have a finished product for everyone to enjoy!
