TeacherGeek Sumo Bot

The Vehicle That Reaches New Heights

TeacherGeek’s Sumo Bot Vehicle Activity is the perfect way to encourage design and innovation. The flexibility of this system also provides the opportunity for creative competitions from the traditional sumo ring (arena) to collecting and delivering balls or blocks to elevated goals by integrating the TeacherGeek hydraulics into the vehicle design.

The step by step guide provides just one example of a basic steerable vehicle that can be modified with additional TeacherGeek gears or pulleys for more speed and power. You can also add plows, lifts or whatever your design requires. This is by no means the only or the best design. You are encouraged to incorporate your own ideas and innovations. Design possibilities are limitless and the TeacherGeek system allows you to engineer and reengineer until your ultimate vehicle is complete.
