'''Robot-sumo''', or
▲[[File:RoboCore Robot Sumo.jpg|thumb|right|Robot-sumo]]
The [[engineering]] challenges are for the robot to find its opponent (usually accomplished with [[infrared]] or [[ultra-sonic]] [[sensor]]s) 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.
The most common "weapon" used in a sumobot competition is an angled blade at the front of the robot, usually tilted at about a 45-degree angle towards the back of the robot. This blade has an adjustable height for different tactics.

Robot-sumo is divided into classes, fought on progressively smaller arenas:<ref>[http://robogames.net/rules/all-sumo.php Unified Robot Sumo Rules (English)]</ref>
