Project Description: 

MIME Team 609.2 was tasked with creating a SumoBot to compete in the Autonomous Mega Sumo class of a SumoBot competition. A SumoBot competition has two robots that are trying to push one another out of the ring. The first robot to touch outside of the ring loses the competition. The robots can not attempt to flip or damage their opponents. The ring is 154 cm in diameter with a 5 cm white border. Each robot has a maximum width and length of 20.0 cm and unlimited height. The robots can not exceed 3 kg in weight and are not allowed to receive any signals or directions during the match. 

Our concept for the competition was to create a modular robot that would be able to change shapes easily depending on its competitor. It was also important for the team to create a unique SumoBot. 

The team was sponsored by Oregon State's MIME Department and got its motors and all related electrical components donated by Maxon.
