Sumo Bots

sumo bots are very interesting. We are programming our sumo bot with a partner. you have to use specific code or the sumo bot goes crazy. here is an example of this code.

This is a code that tests your motor to make it go straight. the code is very simple if you have payed attention in the class or have expirimented with these sumo bots.
