Answers.Body: <p>It's easy to use Lego Mindstorms EV3 to build small robots. There are competitions such as the WRO where EV3 soccer bots compete. Sensors like IR seekers from HiTechnic are used to detect the "football" which is an IR emitting ball. As for a warrior, it is hard to balance Lego robots to make something which can walk but you could make the warrior run on wheels or slightly complex quad-walker mechanisms.</p>

  An option that comes to mind is building a [Raspberry Pi-based robot](https://diyhacking.com/raspberry-pi-robot/). But it's not likely to be small nor easy to put together, code and all.
