The goal of this project is to design and build an autonomous sumo robot capable of competing in both sumo style combat and tug of war challenges. The robot must operate entirely on its own using onboard sensing, control logic, and mechanical design optimized for quick detection, strategic movement, and high torque pushing power. All design decisions must fit within strict constraints, including a 13 cm × 13 cm footprint, a regulated weight limit, and a total budget of $75. This project demonstrates how effective engineering, resource management, and system integration can produce a competitive autonomous robot within tight limitations.
