After going around & around with the intent, we decided to make it a
"simple" sumo competition. The goal is to push your opponent off the
play field.
The normal black-sumo-ring-with-white-line is "squished" down so the
big black circle becomes a line. (I don't think the actual play field
has been created, yet)
In the event neither robot pushes the other off, before time expires,
the match is won by the robot that is the farthest from it's starting
position when time expires.
As in "normal" sumo, if a robot touches anything but the top surface
of the field, it is considered "out". This includes the side of the
field (board). While allowing robots to grab onto the board would
make an interesting event, it is NOT allowed in this event.
