: Can *anyone* enter the "All Japan Robot Sumo Tournament"?

I don't know.  But the Seattle Robot club has a competition that looks
extremely similar to this, down to the use of Japanese names for the
judges.  I believe you can enter that tournament.

: ...and about the start-up.  Does the robot have to start exactly five
: seconds after you press the start button? or does it just have to start
: *within* five seconds?

By the Seattle rules it is no sooner than 5 seconds.
