Links to purchase hardware for wireless remote control of the Sumo Bot:
It is NOT essential to place one wireless receiver on each Sumo Bot that competes in a tournament. This page explains how to build a wireless receiver attachment that can be (easily) transferred from one Sumo Bot to another Sumo Bot. This allows for the number of wireless receivers needed for a tournament to be limited to the number of battles happening at the same time.
