Really makes you smile when someone builds something from nothing and beat the competition who have all the resources to hand, and being from Mexico even better, well done lads

[@lanceseidman]

I build robots, I use even the same IR sensors. I use Ultrasonic pings also but raised up to determine the height of the robot and to know to lift my little dozer higher so the other sumo doesn't stand a chance. Good job Mexico. - American and proud of Mexico.

[@aeginamonroe]

Made my eyes water, I love the underdog

[@movesguy]

MotherboardTV is like the new Vice, before they sold out to HBO. Awesome film.

[@LuisElectronico]

This was really cool, I actually went to robogames this year and won 1st and 2nd place but in line following robots. Mexico is very powerfull in robotics

[@miguelangelnerirosales661]

Nunca me olvidare de este video

[@Bigsp4]

Than do it , I just started yesterday , and I already have a working sumo drone. I would recommend buying a Arduino uno kit with it you can program chips to do whatever you want than you can get scrap electronics and make them into things.

[@Remain_focus]

Orgullo Mexicano son Los dos.

[@guruji586]

no one in 2021 :(

[@robertpendergast2620]

Congratulations

[@Bigsp4]

I am building one currently , when he said like the holes in these wheels , what did he use ? it looks like a nice wheel material.

[@ElectrolytesStudios]

Orgullo mexicano.

Didn't Peter Forsberg (Akir4) won the nano division this 2013?

[@janismartinez5619]

The americans where already celebrating before the match started, lol and these guys got their robots destroyed by us customs. And they still kicked everybody's ass . Well done

[@RunningInCircles222]

this is actually a good idea, make a customizable sumo robot fighting toy. This could give them funding for some of their more ambitious projects!!

[@hectorvazquez5277]

Muchas felicidades Que Dios los Bendiga son un exito y un muy buen ejemplo a seguir voy a necesitar mucha ayuda de ustedes como los puedo contactar

[@veloxsouth]

I miss F.I.R.S.T. robotics from my highschool days. I saw alliances between high schools from Palestine and Israel at the international championship. The culture must have been completely different in their robotic olympics because I never witnessed disrespect like that from any team in FIRST.

[@holdmybeer]

I would love to have that drill and lathe.

[@R3skeen]

i don't understand how they could have won 3'rd, 2'nd and 1'st place at the same time.

[@wthismetatron2263]

they have three different robots used in the robogames at the same time pepe el toro pistache and the other robot that i forgot its name

[@Lukeschedel]

I wish i could build things like robots from scrap electronics. Would be such a fun hobby.

[@ncsistelcorps.a.7917]

bien hecho muchachos, bien hecho

[@Slikx666]

Well done guys!

[@jorgeluishernandez8291]

disculpen para hacer minisumo a cuantos grados recomiendan la inclinación de una rampa en la parte frontal!?

[@rancholaovejarancholaoveja9815]

Esa mentalidad me gusta chicos

[@masterhack687]

Donde los puedo contactar ?

[@Roger2465]

The people saying crap wouldn't even be able to re assemble an RC toy car if they took it apart.

[@jacitnoserrano]

que tipo de material recomiendas para las llantas? saludos desde toluca!

[@madcatmk213]

poliuretano o silicon

[@betoch7556]

Donde compraron las ruedas?

[@nightmareinaction629]

They copied this from the original one from Japan which are more heavier and more faster they are like lightning fast and they show this in most usa schools like robotics urban search and rescue and electronics and technology after school

[@hectorvazquez5277]

so what is for a good deal

[@amarun3891]

Awesome story!

[@TutocarloCV]

nice

Awesome!

cool vid

[@pablosotomayor6605]

Increible

[@Shazgi]

The people talking shit wouldn't be able to assemble a legoman if they tried

[@alejandraromerocervera8903]

hola me gustaria saber como se crea un robot de sumo o que es lo que se necesita saber para crearlo

[@lafabricadeamiguelines3522]

necesitas un kit de robotica de lego es lo mas necesario

[@onraj9mm]

motherboard is part of vice fuck

[@DADDYJERO]

¿que sensores utilizaron para detectar la distancia ?

[@JONHATANCOD]

Jeronimo Ramos muy tarde la respuesta pero al parecer son los sharp

Jeronimo Ramos se llaman "D-stance"

[@diegocalderon972]

en que tienda consiguieron los gpy340k??

[@user-it9ur5nk1t]

Me parece que son 310k los 340 ya no se encuentran a la venta :c

[@SolutionVoid]

Okay, having seen the japanese robots and the american ones.. you can't even compare them. It's like a piece of cloth against a rattlesnake. Still .. there is some potential lingering in those two mexicans :) Wonder what they do today

[@javierjunes8614]

3:47 look at the guy on the left , fail lol

[@shinigami88628]

Yo amo la mini robótica para competencias (sumobots , seguidores de línea , micromouse ) y ustedes son una gran inspiración para mi ,,,, sigan adelante y espero le ganen a los japos y demuestren que México es un país muy talentoso

hola me enseñarìan a construir mini robots

[@felisbertohernandez5758]

Si todavía te interesa, puedo enseñarte.

[@The_Osprey]

Nice...now there will soon be robot "coyotes" bringing people across our border. :-) All kidding aside, these guys should definitely be commended.

[@RunningInCircles222]

3 robots

[@xFlRSTx]

fucking pwnd everyone on no budget with robots built just before the event, lol.

[@Alistplay]

Theyd get destroyed by the japanese sumo robots

[@amigodehombre]

I didn't see a "racist American" or even the implication there was one, poor losers are poor losers. If I had put (possibly) thousands of dollars into a robot intending to win a competition I wouldn't be very happy either if I got beat by guys that built them out of scrap.

[@ERED420]

Haha pretty cool

[@HANK_SPANK]

id buy that for like ten bucks ,they could be making real money instead of wasting time on competitions

[@EvolutionsSolutions]

Awesome!
