(...) I think that's actually about 1100 lbs, not 1.1 lbs. But I could be wrong. That would be a pretty impresive mini sumo bot though, I gotta say.

(...) 1 pound is not enough. Official "Mini-Sumo" rules allow robots that are up to 500kg (1.1lbs). It's barely possible to make a Mini-Sumo with LEGO. That means using just 2 motors, 1 RCX, and a couple wedge pieces. 2lbs is a really good weight (...) (19 years ago, 29-Mar-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I think this is a pretty good idea. This way people with have to think of new strategies, other than having the heaviest robot, so it can pull everything including the other table. So I'm for this idea of a low weight limit. Vitali (19 years ago, 29-Mar-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
