Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The SUMO ROBOT brings the ancient Japanese art of brute force and finese to your home, Sumo.. This robot can be controlled to attack and overpower its opponent or retreat to ready for another battle. The internal CPU utilizes the infrared sensor to detect an opponent. Upon detection, it instructs SUMO ROBOT to attack, creating a "Sumo" wrestling match. Play with friends and their Sumo Robots and decide who the grand champion will be.

Product Description

Robot-Sumo tournaments are quite the rage in Japan. There are even web sites devoted to it. Now bring all the techno-excitement of this science-sport into your classroom. -- The Sumo Robot uses an infrared sensor beam to detect an opponent. When the sensor detects the reflected rays, Sumo Robot rushes forward toward its opponent, jabbing its arms. Sumo can then be controlled to assail and overpower its opponent or retreat to prepare for battle. Detectable range is approximately 145 inches. Uses 2 "AA" batteries. -- For ages 10+.

I have a few of the Robotikits and all of them are well made, come with decent instructions, and produce a fun and highly usable toy. Kids or adults will enjoy building this robot, and learn a bit about gears, motors and sensors at the same time. These kits are priced well and offer an excellent value.

My 14 Year old son spent the entire day assembling the robot.He did enjoy it and my only suggestion would be kits you can add to it with as he did get bored with it once it was done.
