National Robotics Week

Sumo Robot League was invited to participate in National Robotics Week at Georgia Tech.  It was a fun day sharing with middle and high school students all things sumo.  Sponsored by Georgia Tech’s Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Machines (IRIM), over 100 students from about the state had a chance to try out the robots via blue tooth and remote control, or in the sumo wrestling ring.

Our sumo robot league for homeschoolers continues to be a success.  We have students this spring working on our pilot program in partnership with theClubhou.se, an innovation development organization.
