- I had no idea that sumobot “wrestling“ was so huge world

formed to build and compete in a 4 month long tournament season
to see who can build the most powerful sumo robots. Many of the
competing teams are high school teams that put their knowledge
of science, engineering, mathematics, electronics, computer

young students to enter the professional career fields of
science and engineering.  During the past 10 years, this event
has slowly spread across the world, and now has become one of
the most popular robotics contests ever created.  I have to say
that I'm really looking forward to the competition at the
conference, this is going to be a ton
