Goliath is designed for competition in Mindstorms sumo. It features a strong chassis and uses treads instead of wheels for both power and traction across the length of the robot.

Two light sensors monitor which corner of the robot came across the ring and responds accordingly. On the other hand, an ultrasonic sensor monitors for any trouble that is behind the robot.

During a match, the robot actively logs what it experiences during the round. It logs how many times it has detected the edge of the ring and when it did (to estimate total time in a round) and also what round that data was recorded in.

When not used for sumo it has a removable Zamor launcher with a HiTechnic IR receiver sensor that is used with a Power Functions remote so it can be operated remotely.
