This is brilliant. Seems like it's a bit sumo in the rules, aim is to get the opponent out of the white circle.

WOW. That is brilliant!

Also like how spectators are wearing shin and knee pads.

I teach Computing & IT and with the help of one of the technicians run a Robotics Club (using Vex IQ). I'll show them this on Monday, thanks 🙂

@flaps, found some rules - might add to the interest of the session.

Seems to be called "robot sumo", searching for that brings up a bunch of stuff.

The speed of these things has made me completely rethink how scary robot police units could be.

WTF This isn't fair! At least in Terminator, Robocop, I Robot, Westworld et al. they move at human speeds.

"They" do racing too, on a similar scale. Modified RC cars racing around RC tracks. Though that has developed into something a bit more interesting again.

@beej Thanks.
Think I might do this as an end of year project next year with Y9 (although it will be considerably slower).
