Robot sumo is one of the fastest growing sports around. Now if you own a LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT, you can join in as well:The LEGO NXTLOG is running a building challenge where NXT owners can design and submit a LEGO Sumo robot that could actually compete in a LEGO Sumo match.
And here is a twist: A panel of MINDSTORMS experts will build a select number of finalists. The finalist robots will compete in an exclusive LEGO Sumo match run by the MINDSTORMS experts. The NXT Sumo robot that wins the most rounds in the match will be declared the winner of the MINDSTORMS NXT Sumo Competition.
You still have plenty of time to enter the MINDSTORMS NXT Sumo robot competition run by the LEGO company. The deadline is mid December.
Are you up for it? Do you want some inspiration to get you started? Here is five minutes montage of pure Sumo heaven:
I will be posting more stuff here in the next few days:
