See-Saw Sumo
Two robots start at opposite ends of a six foot long 2x4 which is balanced by a horizontal bar going through the center of the beam. At the end of 1 minute, the side of the beam that is lower indicates the winner. Any strategy may be used, but robots must be completely above the beam at the start of the match.
Robots may weigh a maximum of 2 lbs -- it is suggested if your robot is close to this weight that you have a means of reducing the weight slightly if the official scale says you are over. There will be a soft landing place for robots that fall off the beam.
