Yesterday here in Bremen, Germany, the Northern Bites tied the higher ranked Dutch Aibo Team 1-1 in our first Pool Play game here at the RoboCup World Championships. Going down after a goal in the first half, Northern Bites scores within 30 seconds of the end of the game in the second, tying the Dutch and putting us into position to finish second in our Pool!
About
Northern Bites is Bowdoin College’s robot team.
We compete in the Standard Platform League of RoboCup where teams consisting of Nao robots each play on a field of 7.4 m x 5.4 m. The robots operate fully autonomously; there is no external control by humans or computers.
We placed 2nd in the SPL in 2009, 3rd in the Aibo league in 2008, and were World Champions in 2007.
Yay!
