Robot-sumo, or pepe-sumo, is a sport in which two robots attempt to push each other out of a circle. The robots used in this competition are called sumobots.
The engineering challenges are for the robot to find its opponent and to push it out of the flat arena. A robot should also avoid leaving the arena, usually by means of a sensor that detects the edge.
