- **Event Description**: First weekend of the school holidays! Over two afternoons you'll build a sumo robot from parts, learn what makes it work, then fight it in a competition. Only four places available, so spots are genuinely limited.

🔧 Day 1 (Saturday): We kick off with two talks, "What Are These 'Components' You Speak Of?" and complete a hands on learn to solder class - thanks to equipment provided by Jaycar. Continuing on with soldering your motors, wiring your sumo robot together and testing that it is competition ready.

🏆 Day 2 (Sunday): Talks on safety, how to read and understand LiPo battery specs at a glance, LiPo safety and what to expect at a competition. Then the main event: competitors engage in multiple sumo games with varying objectives, eventually moving to elimination rounds to find and crown a winner. Trophies are presented to participants to remember the event.

📅 Saturday 19 & Sunday 20 September, 1:00pm to 4:00pm each day
