Sumo Robot is one of the most popular robotics events in the world, where two robots try to push each other out of a circular ring. The robot had a size limit of 20cmX20cm and weight limit of 3kg. The sumo ring is a round platform with diameter about 1.5m. The Singapore Robotic Games had been hosting Sumo Robot Game for many year with great success. From 2019, We are planning to introduce the Sumo Robot School Completion to allow students from primary school to secondary school to have the chance to experience the exciting game. Sumo robot is categorized in Remote Control and Autonomous events. This game will provide good training for participants in programming (Scratch Block/Arduino/C), sensors and motion, artificial Intelligence, and mechanical system. The participating students will have good exposure in the area of STEM and able to compete in overseas sumo robot events as well.

TheShell Eco-Marathon is an annual competition sponsored by Shell, in which participants build special vehicles to achieve the highest possible fuel efficiency. The Eco-Marathon is held around the world with events in Europe, the Americas and Asia. Entrants come from several backgrounds including enthusiastic amateurs, university teams and staff of major motor manufacturers.
The Teams Participating Shell Eco Marathon 2015
The motor driver is a special derivative from our iMOTO Smart Motor Driver. The motor driver had been used in high efficient pump driving in marine industries. To meet the special efficiency requirements for Shell Eco-Marathon, we used special low resistance MOSFET and tailored the firmware with special driving scheme to achieve maximum efficiency. The driver is also built to be compatible with the Mitsuba Brushless Motor used by the EcoTaveller as the main power plant.
The motor driver has a serial interface that takes in command from the main vehicle controller to accelerate and de-accelerate the car from the driver’s throttle movement.

There are other robot soccer game like humanoid robot soccer, Robocup robot soccer. Most of the robot soccer games are either too slow or discontinuous, or overly complex to operate. FIRA MiroSot is by far the fastest, competitive and most exciting to watch.

The Game Setup
The robot soccer system consists of robot players, RF transmitters, machine vision cameras and game computer. iSoccerBotsystem includes all the parts so the game-play-strategy is what the programmer need to focus in.

Game Rules:
Like the human soccer game, the objective of the game is to score goals against your opponent team. The game is played in small league (3 vs 3), middle league (5 vs 5) and large league (11 vs 11).
The game computer is the brain of the team and controls the movement of all the robot players
The robot players are wheel based and they score the goal by pushing the orange golf ball into the opponent goal area. There is no restrictions to how the goal is scored and how the team is defending, except not to violate the following rules 1. Over Defending: Not more than THREE robot players (including goal keeper) are allowed in your own penalty area. Violation will result in penalty kick. 2. Charging Goalkeeper: The goal score is only valid when the opponent goal keeper is not pushed any offending players during the scoring attempt.
Referee:
Yes, like the real soccer game, the robot soccer game requires a referee. While whistling the game, the referee may give goal kick, free kick or penalty kick when necessary. The game referee is a qualified human being.
Free Kick:
If the ball is stuck (stop moving) due to whatever reason, the referee will call a Free Kick at the nearest free kick spot. Free Kick allows one robot form each side to run towards the ball from a equal distance. It is a little like the jump ball of basketball game.
Goal Kick:
If the goal keeper is pushed by the other team, the referee will call for goal kick. A defender robot will kick the ball without interference.
Penalty Kick:
Penalty kick is one on one. The rest of the robots will wait outside the penalty area.
There are other rules like time-out call or free kick under dead ball situation. You may find details in FIRA Mirosot Robot Soccer Rules.
Length of Game:
The game consists of two half time, with 5 minutes for each half. Any stoppage time is not counted in the game time.
iSoccerBot Robot
Robot Specification: The robot player must conform the following specifications
1. Size: Not bigger than 75mmX75mm.
2. Color ID: The robot must carry color ID that is contain BLUE or YELLOW color.
3. Dribbling coup: If the robot is equipped with dribbling scoop, the depth of the scoop should be more than 30% of the golf ball diameter
iSoccerBot System Components
