Schedule

June 9th, 2013 -- 2PM to 4PM

Agenda: SumoBots

The primary agenda will be...  "Battle Bots -- Sumo Style".  Robots will face off inside a "ring" (blue masking tape... most likely squarish) and the first robot to go completely outside the ring loses.  People will have a small practice ring to teach their robots how to move around and augment as needed.  And then anyone can challenge the current champion or other robots in one of probably two main rings.  Fail and try again with a new design.

Details -- Battle Bots -- Sumo Style 

• Break into pairs
• Take an existing robot or new base robot
• Name it with an awesome combat name [required to enter the ring]
• Augment your robot to work inside a blue-tape circle (can either look for blue or look for dark)
• Augment your robot to be able to beat other robots

SumoBot Brains:

Simple -- Stays in ring but doesn't move around very much.

More sophisticated: Moves around randomly so it covers the whole arena pretty rapidly.
