I would like to get this discussion on track again. (See the subject line.)
There's been some discussion on other issues, which are important, but not
immediately so, as they don't effect the next competition anyway.
What I would like to know is: will there be a sumo event during the next
competition or not?
Just for purposes of this discussion, and hopefully of raising interest in
the event again, I suggest having two sumo divisions - a beginners division
for anyone who has never entered a sumo event anywhere before, and a master
division (call it what you will, that's not the issue here) for people who
have previously entered a sumo event (anywhere, not just here), and think
that they can build a much better one than something that just pushes other
robots around. (Think of building something that uses offense not just
defense.) Of course anyone can enter the master division, even if they've
never built a sumo robot before, but the beginner division should only be
for first timers.
Whether or not these two divisions are desirable, the main question is still
"will there be a sumo event?"
