On Saturday, April 11, Saint Maur hosted Robosumo Challenge 2026 in the Cougar Cafe. Robosumo requires students to design, build, code, and test a fully autonomous sumobot, which is then entered into a tournament. Like in real sumo, matches are won by pushing an opponent out of the ring or flipping them onto their side.
On Friday April 29, the Saint Maur Robosumo Challenge returned after a four year hiatus. Robosumo is played on a plywood arena - 77 cm in diameter. The arena mimics a real sumo ring ('dohyo' in Japanese) on top of which human sumo wrestling occurs.
On Saturday, 10th of March, Saint Maur teams from the Grade 7 and Grade 8 Computer Science & Robotics classes attended the Yokota Robot Rumble competition. Students were required to compete in three main sections, which tested programming, driver control and teamwork. The events were autonomous Tagbot, collaborative Save the Earth Relay and team-based World Cup Soccer.
This year, the Saint Maur robotics club again participated in the VEX tournament at ASIJ. This year we entered two teams with different robots.
