Sumo-bot Championship

In early October, seventh graders put their Sumo-bots’ skills to the test against their classmates during the Innovation Lab’s Exploring Computer Science Sumo-bot Competition.

For several weeks leading up to the competition, students worked in groups to program remote-controlled Sumo-bots. Teams coded a transmitter and a receiver and had the option to build attachments for their robots. During the competition, students had to push their opponent’s robot outside of the arena to win the round.

The top three teams were awarded laser-printed trophies, which did not impact their final grade.
