Automated Sumo Robot
Brief: Teaching electronics, physics and computing in schools is a real challenge, as it can be difficult to get children to engage with some of the abstract concepts involved. Design a automated sumo fighting robot for a target market of your choice.
Duration: 5 month Level 2 coursework. Team of 5: Satthaporn Barnes, Christina Lombers, Simon Wagstaff and Si Lui. Everything shown is my own work.
Result: A sports car themed design such as this Ferrari 250 GTO style automated sumo fighting robot with searching eyes, an attack ramp and defence feelers.
Designed as package circuits and equipment to be put together by 10-15 year olds and then be put in the ring.
In competition my robot got knocked out in the semi finals.
