MINDSTORMS NXT Sumo Building Competition Results
01 January 2008


The Robotics Posse with the top 3
MINDSTORMS NXT Sumo Robots
(WedgeBot - 2nd Place, MG_Sumo - 1st Place,
and F-16 Bulldozer - 3rd Place)


Over 100 entries from 19 countries and builders of all ages entered the The MINDSTORMS NXT Sumo Building Competition. The Robotics Posse (Bryan Bonahoom, John Brost, Brian Davis, Steve Hassenplug, and Jay Kinzie) evaluated each NXTLOG submission to determine which robots would be the finalists to construct and compete in a live Sumo match.

The Robotics Posse were joined by family and friends this holiday season in Steve Hassenplug’s basement (the "LEGOLAND of Lafaytette Indiana") as they built and battled the best sumo bots submitted to NXTLOG.

29 robots were selected to go head to head in a series of sumo matches. The 29 were soon narrowed down to 10 robots that competed in a final round to determine the ultimate MINDSTORMS NXT Sumo robot.
