FINAL COMPETITION NOTES

The SumoBot – like any robot – will perform best with fresh batteries. The first sign of
weak batteries will be degradation in opponent detection range. Make sure that you take
plenty of fresh batteries to each contest you participate in.
When fully assembled and loaded with batteries, the SumoBot will weigh less than the
500 gram (17.6 oz) limit imposed by standard Mini-Sumo rules. This could be a
disadvantage against a heavier robot.
There are many ways to add weight to the
SumoBot chassis; one of the easiest is with Prather Products stick-on weight. These
stick-on weights are particularly convenient to add weight to the back of the scoop. This
helps keep the scoop on the playing surface. Prather Products weights are available in
hobby shops.
