SumoBot Ladder Information
Spring 2012

Rules for Ladder Play

Initial placement on the latter will be done by a random lottery. The team in position I on the ladder may challenge either the team in position I-1 or the team in position I-2. When the higher seed loses, that team will be replaced by the winner and then moves down one spot. When the higher seed wins, there is no change in the ladder.

Sumo matches will generally be played in class. Challenges must be issued via email at least 24 hours prior to the start of class to ensure that the challenged team has sufficient time to get their robot in working order. Challenges may also be issued during class and the challeged team must play a match against the challenging team if they brought their robot to class (for example, to play in a different match) and if the robot was not damaged in a prior match that day.

These rules are subject to change as teams discover ways to pervert them to their own advantage.

Pictures from some matches can be found here.
