Ok well, today we found out that our robot likes to flip over when it drives into the others....

We are going to have to put a beam close to the ground to stop it doing this....

We have the battle tomorrow so it should be fun.

I dont think we have got the robot up to a winning standard but we might put up a fight....

Getting there.....

Well another day down in the life of robot sumo....

Havint to any pics today..

We have been building trying pulling apart and trying again and we just cant sem to get a design that can stand up to the others. We will get there in the end we just need ot think outside of the box I think.

Today we tryed putting the motors vertical and with a motor for the turning on the back. It is a bit high off the ground and doesnt seem to that the power that we would lke.

We will continue trying and keep the blog up to date!

First Day of design and building.

Well I started on my design today. my plan is to build it so it can drive on both sides.

This is a picture of what i have build so far.

Its not working to well yet but i have got the cogs working.

Here are some pictures of the competition.

Will post more later!

Robo Sumo ring.

Well today we saw the ring our robots will be competing on.

Here are some photos of it:


Its not very big but im sure we will be able to cope with it. The only problem I see with it is that the white strip may be a little thin.
