Lego Mindstorms NXT Sumo Competition - Omega Team

I love this class so much!
We were divided into teams in order to take on two big projects; A robot that does a task of our choice, and a robot meant for this sumo competition. I didn't get video of our first project, a maze-solver, however I find this project to be much more exciting.

The rules of the game were as follows: The bot had to be no bigger than 10x10 inches, and weigh no more than 2.25 pounds. The robots were to start back-to-back, and move forward as their first move. They also, of course, had to stay in the ring.

Overall, we came in second. By the way, our robot is called "the Harvester of DOOM!"

are this remote controled or they are programed to move and fight like this?

@MultiRun4life

They're programmed to move and fight like that. One of the assignment requirements was that there be as little human interference as possible. We just set them on the ring and turned them on. The programming did the rest.

can you control an nxt block with a remote control?

[CrazyBlues]

@TheLastUgly

I believe that you can, but I'm not sure how to do that... I don't own the kit myself, I was using one that belonged to the college I attend... I'm fairly certain that you can rig them up to work with, say, a Wii remote or something of the sort...

[CrazyBlues]

@robotec0007 That'd been nice, but we were extremely limited in what we could use... I wanted to put one there, though... ^^;
