DESCRIPTION:Robowars is the first official robot-sumo tournament in North A
 merica recognized by the FSI - AJRST (All Japan Robot-Sumo Tournament). Th
 e competition pits sumo-bots against one another to see who can push their
  competitor out of the ring first. Participants are tasked with building a
  sumo robot capable of being active-reactive in the ring and they have to 
 do it beforehand. This\, therefore\, is a perfect opportunity for students
  to expand and showcase their engineering skills. Indeed\, the organizing 
 team is working to attract potential recruiters to the event so students c
 an showcase their talents.\n\nRobowars has been running for over 4 years! 
 Last year's event had a Robowars record high attendance of 80 participants
  (25-30 teams). This year\, we aim to welcome about 100 participants. Howe
 ver\, IEEE has its lab open and offers knowledgeable lab supervisors who c
 an help students with building their robots. Furthermore\, IEEE has been e
 xpanding their reach and contacting universities from all over Canada to e
 ncourage participation in Robowars. Last year the University of Mcmaster j
 oined our competitions.\n\nThis year\, we aim to take the competition to t
 he international stage. We’ve begun discussions with AJRST\, and if the 
 event succeeds\, the winner will earn a chance to compete in Japan’s pre
 stigious robot-sumo tournament.\n\n1515 Saint-Catherine St W #1428\, Montr
