Challenge: To push the other robots out off the ring while remaining in the ring yourself

Research: We checked many sites out to get the best variety of designs. Also what designs other people used to

win. Using some of these websites: Sugobot.com, www.nxtprograms.com/mini_sumo/index.html

Developing Solutions: We figured in using a high-to-low gear ratio so we could get more torque. We wanted a plow. Final Solution: We all decided that we would have no gears, have a small tire in the back for stability and have a plow in front. We didnt want it high up so other robots could lift up our robot and flip us over. Our program has our robot do a 180 and then go straight as fast as it can. Model/Prototype:
