First Impressions of MINDSTORMS NXT Sumo Competition


MCP and MINDSTORMS NXT Sumo Competition Judge John Brost is pretty impressed buy number of entries. "The NXTLOG community really showed up in force for this one!"



"Personally, one of the things I think is pretty cool is the inventiveness of some of the entries. While there are a ton of flippers/lifters, there are also some unique strategies like Mimicry Mike
, who drives around the ring with a white "skirt" hoping to fool the opponent's light sensor into thinking it is at the edge of the ring. Then there is D.S.B (Defensive Sumo Bot)
, whose main strategy is to be defensive, rather than attack. It remains to be seen if any of these entries perform as expected."



That's right as the Robotics Posse still needs to construct and test these robots submitted via the web in real life!



Stay tuned for more news from the MINDSTORMS NXT Sumo Competition.
