Sumo Bot



 The requirement of the project was to create a sumo bot that could race around the hallways and finish the time and race them together.  We put a wheel in the front and two in the back.  We also wanted to use the integrated brain bot.  We thought that it would be easier to handle and make turns if it was a little bit longer.  We thought having one wheel in front would also make it easier to control. 
The Results:
1) RDJ- 0:51
2) John Deere- 1:11
3) Ronald- 2:24
4) ASAP 2:25
5) Bloody Mary(my group)- DNF

If we were to redesign it we would definitely make it lighter.  We made it to heavy and need to reduce it so we could gain speed.  We would also figure out a better way to use the wheels.  We had a very good design, but it was broken by someone in our class so we couldn't get it back to where it was.  We also need to straighten the wheels.  The wheels needed to be moved so they were even and we could go straight.  If we did this again, I feel if we did this again we would be very successful.
