On the 3rd of November, a number of the MCP got together over at Steve Hassenplug's house for a little bit of a contest. Bryan Bonahoom, John Brost, Jay Kinzie, Steve Hassenplug, and myself all brought autonomous LEGO bulldozers. Take a stock #8275 Bulldozer, and have an NXT drive it using a Hitechnic IRLink. Equip it with edge detectors, US sensors to locate opponents, and perhaps a few special custom weapons, and let the LEGO pieces fall where they may. A good time was had by all, and Bulldozer sumo was a resounding success.. even if all of the matches didn't go exactly according to plan. Take a look at the highlights here on YouTube:
