Robosumo

Combine mechanical design and programming skills to create robots that are carefully optimized for weight distribution, traction, and pushing power. The goal is a head-to-head pushing match, where robots must use sophisticated control algorithms to navigate the arena, predict opponents' movements, and execute precise manoeuvres.

The objective is to push the opposing robot out of the arena without the use of weapons or flipping manoeuvres.
