[fb486dc15270835d44ccfb6affa35cff_l.jpg] Quote from Jason: (note to others…NEVER sumo wrestle Andy Baker. he’d be tough enough to beat, which of course I didn’t, but when he tells you in the heat of battle that he “used to do this to pigs” - it’s awfully hard to keep your concentration…very sneaky, and somewhat disturbing)

As usual, the deadline is nominally Sunday at midnight Eastern time. I’ll be at SCRAP this weekend with 1293; if you will be there too, feel free to submit your entry in person.

Go!

This is what happens when you forget to specify you plan on running robot sumo for your club demonstration and your school gets out the wrong materials.

[EricH]

[NPOE] Ah, the good ol’ days of the team socials with games. [/NPOE]

Andy Baker tests a new way of keeping alliance selection moving.

[GaryVoshol]

An early test of bumpers. This demonstration led to the decision to put bumpers on the robots, not the human players.

Before team update 21, the GDC briefly considered another way to break the inevitable 193-193 ties that would occur on Einstein…

[Andy_Baker]

Hey Jason, can you believe people will be talking about this sumo match 21 years later, in 2023?

Andy B.

[Wayne_Doenges]

Never wrestle a guy named Andy.
Who’s wrestling style can be quite sandy
Sometime during the match.
An idea he did hatch.
Saying wrestling pigs came in quite handy.

[cgmv123]

Simple game: Push, push some more, push harder, push even harder

[gellnick]

Idea #152 for AndyMark’s remaining checks notes 25972 fuel balls from Steamworks: Sumo wrestling costumes, shown in the quality control phase before the idea was scrapped due to also requiring unobtainium Power Up power cells to act as referees
