Robot sumo is a sport (yes, Wikipedia got it right) where two robots try to push each other out of a ring, much like traditional sumo wrestling. While I’m not particularly into sumo wrestling, I’m definitely into robots—especially sumobots, like this Real-Life Wall-E Robot.
I’ve watched some exciting battles, with robots weighing up to 125 pounds, built from scratch or using Lego components. If you’ve never seen these bots in action, Robert McGregor has put together an awesome video, carefully edited from years of footage. Check it out below!
