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

Fascinating 🙂
I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords 😳

I couldn't understand a word they were saying...
Just been forwarded this, it's bloody fantastic
WOW. That is brilliant!
Also like how spectators are wearing shin and knee pads.
Saw some of these the other night but not so many, this is great.
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.
That's brilliant.
"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.
F1 is dead
So that footage is not speeded up? It seemed crazy fast!!
@beej Thanks.
Think I might do this as an end of year project next year with Y9 (although it will be considerably slower).
