what the **** is this?!? im a robot hobbyist or a robot maniac im still 8 years old then... when i made my first robot which is both autonomic and controllable which means it is a humanoid robot using legs & arms in fighting.... sorry to disappoint you though........
'Also' and 'Very true,' -- thanks for civil responses -- I didn't mean to offend and I didn't call anybody any names, after all -- I am impressed by the fast and kinetic style of the japanese version -- could 'fast' and heavyweight' ever be combined? -- I want to know more about these competitions -- where's the best place on the web to learn?
To idiot (daleroes), the japanese sumo 'robots' you've seen are basically RC cars. In other words: not autonomous (notice the large antennea?). These are autonomous (meaning no remote control).
you guys owned hard this year, we failed last year and completely missed the competition two years ago even though we were there... did you use any of Joel's robot from last year or a new one from scratch?
Im doing this. I am a 6th grader and im competing against the High school students. very cool

Kinda slow. Usually minisumo robots are much faster.

Also, these robots (being in the heavy weight) are geared up for power, not speed. They have multiple pounds of pushing force.

Very true. Some of the sumo robots I saw going so fast could not have been heavyweight, or their inertia would have carried them right off the board.
This is the heavyweight division as is stated in the description.

are you kidding me? -- the japanese sumo-bots would own all over these things -- the whole show looks like the
J sumo-bots in slow motion

We made a whole new one. We bought all new parts, a list of which you can see in the description.
It was very fun and we look forward to next year!
