(...) 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. Can you fit it in a 10 inch cube per the trial rules? (without using neutronium plated parts, that (...) (21 years ago, 29-Mar-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) 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.

(...) While I think the idea of different class's is a good idea, I dont think we get enough robots to warrant a game for each class. I've read all the ideas, and it looks like people are pointing to a logical weight limit. This begrudgingly makes (...) (21 years ago, 29-Mar-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
