Mini Sumo Bot: "George Clinton"
So named because all the colored wires leading into the Arduino remind me of George Clinton's hair.
Built for the Dragon*Con 2012 Mini Sumo competition, which uses the AHRC rules. No real build notes since I mostly just threw it together and let it evolve as I did so. The general style is inspired by the Sumovore.
