Overview

Are You Ready to Rumble!! 

If you think one robot is interesting, wait until you see two of them battling for control, Sumo-style. The SumoBot Robot Competition..Sumo Bots are a modern twist on the ancient Japanese sport of Sumo Wrestling. Sumo Robotics is a fun game played between two opposing autonomous robots. Just like in the real Sumo matches in Japan, the goal is simple—push the other robot out of the ring before they do the same to you.

Teams of 2-4 students will create a robot, using the MindStorm kits provided and any other LEGO pieces, prior to the day of the tournament. On the day of competition teams will compete in one on one challenges and advance through a tournament bracket to the final rounds.

You will learn to program the SumoBot Master, using sensors to locate and defeat your opponents right out of the ring while detecting the edge of the ring should an escape move be necessary. If this sounds interesting, and you are looking for a fun Spring Break, register today.  Space is limited and fills up fast.

My son absolutely loved his week at Engineering Mindz. They offered a Lego Robotics week, which he attended and learned so much about building a tank and programming it to move. They attended a field trip to NASA which reinforced all that he learned during the week. Truly amazing course and curriculum for young minds. We will defiantly be back. Thanks, Ms. Cassandra.

I know everyone has a different experience. Unfortunately, my son did not enjoy this camp. They seemed discouraged and frustrated after every day at camp. Granted they weren't happy about my secret ploy to learn during the summer, but I was hoping the instructors would make it fun. The opposite occurred. In fact, one of my sons politely told me "the teacher does not have the 'gift' of teaching." To boot, the other kids there didn't make the experience any better. They were placed on groups but were not monitored to share the work load. On the final day, the kid that helped the least, knocked down the finished product, breaking it to pieces before their "big" presentation to parents. My son wanted to run out of there. The teachers were not engaging with the parents. And from day one, they were not organized well. Needless to say, I will save those $5oo next summer and invest in something else for my kids!

I had a wonderful beyond expectation experience at Engineering Mindz Learning and Enrichment Center! I would definitely recommend them. Even though the registration period had ended Ms. Cassandra was caring & compassionate regarding my situation and allowed my daughter to be enrolled. She was only enrolled for before care for a short time but the experience inspired her to attend other programs.
