New Event of Sumo Robot for School Students Starting From Singapore Robotic Game 2019

Sumo Robot is one of the most popular robotics events in the world, where two robots try to push each other out of a circular ring. The robot had a size limit of 20cm x 20cm and weight limit of 3kg. The sumo ring is a round platform with diameter about 1.5m. The Singapore Robotic Games had been hosting Sumo Robot Game for many year with great success.

From 2019, we are planning to introduce the Sumo Robot School Competition to allow students from primary school to secondary school to have the chance to experience the exciting game. Sumo robot is categorized in Remote Control and Autonomous events. This game will provide good training for participants in programming (Scratch Block/Arduino/C), sensors and motion, artificial Intelligence, and mechanical system. The participating students will have good exposure in the area of STEM and able to compete in overseas sumo robot events as well.
