About the Book
"Robot sumo matches end when one robot pushes the other out of the ring. Learn about the robots, explore the tactics, and meet the pilots and programmers who make robot sumo a high-tech contact sport"--Book Synopsis
Robot sumo battles can be over within seconds. One robot pushes the other out of the ring and claims victory. Players build robots to be sturdy and strong, with a blade to flip their opponents. They code their machines to hunt down the opposition...without getting defeated themselves. Robot sumo is a sport that brings together creative design, coding smarts, and a fierce will to win.
Review Quotes
"Each book provides a balanced mix of text and color photos, focusing on the technology, mechanics, and history behind these competitions rather than encouraging participation. Readers will find clear explanations of how robots function, the rules of each sport, and key developments in the field."--School Library Journal
