The robot:
I built this robot as a sumo version of the NXT 1.0 tribot(base).
all I did to the tribot was add a lifter to the front and move the US to a better position.
I also limited my piece usage to allow NXT 2.0 users to build this bot.
The RC opponent:
I purposed in my mind to not stop work on the program for the autonomous bot until it could beat a human controlled sumo at least 2 bouts out of 3. To accomplish this goal, I built a robot using the Power Functions system.
The Board:
The board was built using a 2' x 2' x 1/2" piece of plywood. I tacked a white sheet to it and with a compass drew a black circle. Electrical tape stretches, so I used that to go around the circle.
I don't know how to post .rbt or .ldd files, so I'll link to NXTLog where you can find them.
