Register now for the SUMO Robot Challenge 2008!

Prepare your robot to meet its match! Registrations are now being accepted for the annual SUMO Robot Challenge, featuring homemade robots in competitions ranging from tug of war, dancer/painter, autonomous, and full out, head to head combat!

This year's event takes place on Saturday, March 1, 2008, from 1:30 to 4 (preliminaries and weigh-ins begin at 9:30 am). The deadline to register is Friday, February 29.

Long before the proliferation of robot wars and other similar robotic events that are commonplace today, the SUMO Robot Challenge has invited OCAD artists, designers, local high school students and the general public to compete against each other in competitions that push the limits of their imaginations, electronic, mechanical and fabrication skills. Begun in 1992, the SUMO Robot Challenge is an adrenalin-packed event that is not to be missed!

This event is open to the OCAD community and the general public. All proceeds raised go towards scholarships for OCAD students.

For information and registration forms, visit the SUMO Robot Challenge website. I went last year and it was SUPER FUN!
