this is a great idea because it is effective and we can use fishing line in place of the string. Our fork lift would have to be wider though.

also shows how to make a bluetooth connection very doable to

another take on a wedge design with what appears to be a bumper guard on the back.

great idea

this shows that the robots will be better at pushing if that have alot of torque

shows a great example of an inclined plane

the robot designs on this page are possible for our criteria. the majority of them have a ramp like structure on the front for pushing and flipping

i wish i could see some of the videos but i cant right now i wanted to see if thee were any changes to ramp in general

the sumobotofdestruction looks cool and doable

Has some great fighting ideas and mechanisms to consider.

i had thought of doing something like that i was thinking of using my brick as part of a wedge so my whole thing would be a wedge

some interesting strategies

guide to building a plow

new take on the wedge design

it might just push them off to the side which has some effect but it doesn't provide much offense

we could invert the v so the point where the blades come together is where it would get caught.

Ithink this design minus the treds of course would be a great idea.

Robot combat is a hobby/sport in which two or more custom-built machines use varied methods of destroying or disabling the other. As of today, in most cases these machines are remote-controlled vehicles rather than autonomous robots, although there are exceptions, particularly in the field of robot-sumo.

this has some good explinations of designs

i thing that this proves that a big plow in the front may be a good idea

Jarid had posted a link as well with the plow as a v shape. this would work if your going for pushing someone off the table

Wedge by Chelsea A wedge is a simple machine shaped like an inclined plane. A wedge is actually like a moving inclined plane. An easy way to see how a wedge works is to think of it as an inclined plane standing on its narrow end.

some good ideas for design

this shows how to build a nice sumo bot

strategy sumo

i don't see how that robot can go on the offensive side
