Rules

We try to follow the mini sumobot class of Unified Sumobot Rules. We have a few exceptions detailed below:

1. No R/C Cars allowed
2. The Ring will be constructed according to official dimensions (77 cm diameter, 2.5 inch border, etc)
   • The surface will be black vinyl rubber. Current target material is: McMaster-Carr
   • The base is 1" MDF. This gives us a very solid, stable, and level surface.
   • Currently researching best method for white paint.
     • Looking into Vinyl Dye, seeing mixed reviews of attempting white vinyl dye on black vinyl. But perhaps if the surface is not dull black enough, we can hit it w/ some black vinyl dye.

Prizes

• Complete sumobot kit from Parallax
• Daycon VIP tickets
