So, some time ago some friends and I found out about this robot sumo competition that would be held in the Engineering University. As we are all interested in technology, robots, and programming we decided that it would be cool to enter and see what we could do.

All we had to do was programming the robot to push another robot off a circle. In the category we signed up for we didn't have to build the robot (that was far too complicated for us), so we just programmed it. Out of all the languages that we could use, we decided to use JavaScript since we all had at least some experience using it.

So basically that's it. We had to choose a name for our team (which consisted of four people), and a friend came up with a incredibly ridiculous yet funny name and signed up without asking us whether we liked the name or not. The name, was IBO más más. Now this probably doesn't sound as ridiculous to you as it sounds for me, but I'll at least explain it. IBO is our school's name. "más más" means "plus plus" (++). So it's named after our school and C++, even if we were using Java, and instead of typing "++" he wrote "más más" (the funniest thing is that at least he included the accents).

Yeah I know it's not that funny but oh well.

So after struggling with the programming, the day came and actually the competition would be held during three days (because there were several categories, each with its teams, and at the same time there were some exhibitions - which were pretty cool). It took place from last Thursday until last Saturday.

The day before it all started, we went to the university and kind of explored it. At night we helped the organizers to prepare everything (that included moving a lot of things such as computers and stuff including tables, lots of chairs, etc). We got to meet all the organizers who were all cool and pretty nice to us. We also got the official T-Shirts.
The day after, we went there, and what can I say, we just beat anyone that dared fighting against us. We didn't expect to do such a good work. The second day it was pretty much the same, and on the third day the finals took place. We ended up winning, that's it, first place. Not even ourselves could believe it!

Prizes including T-Shirts (which were like the ones the organizers were using, so it was pretty god), 4GB pen drives, one of those lego-like kits to build robots, a book about robots and programming, and a "Microsoft prize" (we don't know what it is yet, but hopefully we will receive it soon, whatever it is).

So it was a wonderful experience. We met lots of cool people and we even won. Yay!
