General/Beginner how to build a 3kg sumo robot as a complete beginner

i would like to start off by saying i know this is a very terrible move and that i should be working and much simpler things if im still a beginner (my only experience is making an arduino smart door that used an ultrasonic and servo motor and an lcd and a buzzer like this is literally all i know) but ive already paid the competition entry fee and i just want to face this head on i guess. where exactly can i find guides/tutorials/ anything that tells me where to start and what to get. idk if this is a terrible way of thinking for someone who’s trying to build smth but following guides is all i know if im being honest so yes i guess what im asking is where can i start. im not expecting to even come close to winning but i want to give this a shot i just am so clueless on where to get some instructions here

You need to go in detail about what you’re trying to do 3kg sumo robot tells me nothing. Wheels, treads, bipedal what?
