The Flex team has won the second place in the All Japan Robot Sumo Tournament competition. The Romanian team has participated in the contest with their own autonomous robot called Cheetah.
Cheetah is practically an autonomous electric miniature car. It is made of aluminum, titanium and carbon fiber. It was created to prevent attacks and to eliminate the competitionțs robot form the ring.
Adrian Gaspar, one of the founders of the Flex team said that it has taken a lot of work to create four robots for this competition and a lot of money.

The robots have fought other robots from Turkey, Poland, Japan, and Egypt.
