Ten-year old wins junior Sumo robot competition

When you think of a Sumo competition, you might imagine big, burly Japanese guys trying to push each other out of an arena, but 10-year old Hoo Seong Zhen is just the opposite, being decidedly slight of build.

Of course, when the competition involves remote-controlled Sumo robots, then you understand why Hoo doesn’t have the physique normally associated with Sumo wrestlers.
