You should add as much weigth as possible to make flpping harder. This will also give the robot more momentum. Also, a wider robot which is low to the ground is extrememly hard to overturn.

this is a great idea because it is effective and we can use fishing line in place of the string. Our fork lift would have to be wider though.

another take on a wedge design with what appears to be a bumper guard on the back.

the robot designs on this page are possible for our criteria. the majority of them have a ramp like structure on the front for pushing and flipping

the ramp on the front seems to be the easiest way to win based on other designs ive seen.

it might just push them off to the side which has some effect but it doesn't provide much offense

we could invert the v so the point where the blades come together is where it would get caught.

Robot combat is a hobby/sport in which two or more custom-built machines use varied methods of destroying or disabling the other. As of today, in most cases these machines are remote-controlled vehicles rather than autonomous robots, although there are exceptions, particularly in the field of robot-sumo.
