Competitive MINDSTORMS combines the LEGO MINDSTORMS Robotics Invention System (RIS) with the game of robotic sumo. It shows you how to design, build, program, and unleash autonomous creations of amazing potential: sumo-bots. With these robots, youll push, ram, outwit, and baffle your opponents sumo-bot on a robotic sumo arena. This is the book that will help make sure its your sumo-bot left standing when the battle is over.

From the lightning-fast Zip-Bam-Bot to the heavyweight Gargantuan-Bot, Competitive MINDSTORMS offers seven complete projects and plenty of tricks to widen your MINDSTORMS horizons. Illustrated, easy-to-follow building instructions guide you through advanced construction techniques, using pieces from the RIS and its expansion packs. The downloadable programs presented in this book demonstrate basic to extreme sumo-bot programming, and youll find thorough coverage of how to run and test each one.

Competitive MINDSTORMS reveals techniques for competing in each of the three different robotic sumo strategies it presents: small and fast, medium-class, and big sumo. Youll find out the purpose of counter-rotating wheels, see how to design slopes--also known as inclined planes or wedges--to run underneath an opponent, learn how to effectively program your sumo-bots, discover the undocumented secrets of successfully participating in and hosting robotic sumo events, and much more.

Competitive MINDSTORMS teaches you essential and advanced robotic sumo concepts and techniques. And in no time at all, youll be the most feared LEGO MINDSTORMS robotic sumo contestant for miles around.
