Thymio the wrestler

Following existing robot competition could be interesting also from an educational point of view to develop strategies to win a wrestling challenge.
The rules should be (for instance):
1) the looser is who abbandon the filed by exiting a well defined perimeter
2) every robot does his best in making the other(s) robot(s) exiting the ring
3) if the time limit is exceeded, the robot near the center of the ring is the winner

Someone interested?

Some questions: has a thymio enough power to push away another thymio? (Some lego gears can be arranged to get mor force and less speed from motors). Can a Thymio "sense" that another Thymio is near him, or look for another Thymio in a confined ring (withouth exiting a black trail, but this is simpler).

Could be an idea for next Thymio programmers event…

I do not know if at the time you wrote this message anybody organized competitions, but now there is a great event called R2T2 for those who want to compete with others!
R2T2

to answer your question, Thymio can detect another Thymio and sense whether it is close or far thanks to the local communication, but you would have to use the hidden function prox.comm.rx._intensities.
As for pushing another Thymio, probably yes, but not all Thymio are born equal so maybe one would be stronger without it having anything to do with its programmer's skill ;-)
