NXT-only Sumo

The Challenge:

Build a Sumo robot using only the parts in one standard NXT set. (Only set #8527; sorry, not the education version, set #9797.)


Dave,

We just had a sumo contest last weekend in Fort Wayne - the Northeast Indiana Robot Games. The stock class that used to allow parts from only 1 RCX based Mindstorm kit was changed to allow the NXT to compete against the RCX. NXT based robots had to be built from a single NXT based kit (set 8527) and were limited to the use of 2 motors to even the field.

As it turned out, the RCX based robots were competitive with the NXT based robots.

I suggest that you allow RCX based robots in the competition so you don’t limit participation if someone hasn’t been able to purchase an NXT kit.

Just my 2 cents :)

Good luck, Bryan
