Enter a mini-sumo or school robotics competition

Steps

1. Confirm competition weight/size rules before buying motors.
2. Use edge IR to detect the dohyo border; test on mat material.
3. Prefer kits for first events; then swap motors/drivers for torque.
4. Log push strategies after each match — tune ramp-up to avoid wheelspin.

Kits & catalog links

Start from project kits matching “sumo”, then fill gaps from parts.

Safety

• LiPo packs for high-current sumo bots need proper charging and storage bags.

Assumptions

• Event rules differ by organizer — always re-check before competition day.
