1998 Robot Challenge

The ACS Robotics SIG is proud to bring you the Robot Challenge. We have had a change of name due to the Micromouse competition "OzMouse" being held in Melbourne this year.
The challenge was held at Griffith University on November 28th, 1998. The location was the Central Theatres at the Nathan Campus - there is a map available.
There were trophies for the first and second robots in each competition, and a medallion of participation plus certificate for each entrant.

Stock Car Derby

Four autonomous race cars at a time compete against each other for speed! Not only does each car have to give its best, it has to look out for the other competitors or else risk a pileup.

Sumo Wrestling

Based on real Sumo Wrestling rules, your autonomous robot is required to locate and push, flip, roll, shove, throw, hurl, or otherwise remove the opposing robot from a 1.5m ring in the shortest period of time. Originally initiated in Japan, Sumo Wrestling competitions have spread to robotics competions all around the world.
