What it’s about

The cyber:bot doesn’t need remote control for sumo matches; it can also compete autonomously.  As an autonomous Sumo-cyber:bot, it will use sensors to detect its opponent and the white line that surrounds the sumo ring.  The script will make it:

• Detect and turn away from the edge of the ring
• Search the ring for opponents
• Detect and charge at an opponent
• Push the opponent out of the ring
