Dale Heatheringtons' Robor won this months Mini Sumo contest. Dale was presented with a Dual Pentium II mother board. Click here to see the contest rules.
There were five contestants this month! To speed the proceedings we used single eliminations as shown in the diagram below.

Sean and Galen Hussy with Default
Sean Hussy starts Default in a match with Frankenstein
Default wins a round
Editors note: Default is the strongest bot in the group. In an exhibition match he demonstrated the ability to take out Robor in a head to head pushing match. Unfortunatly he has no means to sense his opponents and roams the ring blind in hopes of hitting something.
Frankenstein pushes out Harry the Hybrid
Harry gets no respect from Lancelot either
Robor takes out Frankenstein
In other non-sumo related activity, a frustrated Calvin attempts unsuccessfully to get a couple of Sony Aibo robot dogs to mate, no wait, "play" with each other. They were also not interested in sumo competition (not enough traction I presume).
