are those who choose to write ‘RoboCup’ as ‘Robocup’. The capitalization gives the RoboCup , the organization, its own flavor and sass. Please, write it down properly!!!1111one.
CMU Take RoboCup 2007 on Penalties [in small-sized and third-place game].
Newcastle are Robocup runners-up.
We have a bunch of stories coming up focused on the nBites coming up soon. We are also happy to tell our story to anyone who wants to hear it, so please contact us!
Four-Legged League committee members for 2008: here.
Congratulations to our esteemed professor, vision-guru, and all-around good guy Eric Chown for being appointed to the technical committee! May the Northern Bites dreams of playing all games inside room full of mirrors finally come to fruition!
Also, as a grievance, Michael Quinlan is now the chair of the organizing committee, and also a regular member of the technical committee. This is a clear violation of rules 1a,1b,1c, 4, 6, 89, 42, and 9 of the RoboCup charter.

RoboCup 2007 Concludes, Germans Dominate Robot Soccer Matches [Gizmodo].
Clearly, this shows Gizmodo’s clear German bias (clearly). Also, despite our thrashing of the GermanTeam in the quarterfinals (the greatest upset in RoboCup history since the league moved away from wooden robots in 1952), the Germans won the German Open and the technical challenges. And as Matthias says, that is what counts.
Sorry for the long delay; google video was giving some trouble
This is just the basic, edited version with all the nonessential gameplay footage removed. I’ll release a version later with more color commentary type things (team impressions, reactions, etc.)
As an easter egg, watch a demonstration of a robot assembling LEGO blocks here
I figured there should be at least one team picture up here. The guys in green are CMU, the other American team in the top 3
as henry said, I am working on the video but it’s a little more complicated than usual due to the fact that it had to be split between two tapes.
I’ll be posting two versions, one an edited one with just the game play, and a much longer version to more accurately reflect the vibe of the venue and how we were feeling before and after the match
-Yes, we really won
-Yes, we really beat the NUbots.
-Yes, the commenting is broken.
-Yes, we are trying to fix it.
-Yes, Bowdoin is working on a big, ‘national’ story on us.
-Yes, Nick Dunn is getting the finals video up as we speak.
We’re hanging out at the symposium today, and we’re leaving in the afternoon tomorrow. We might hit a viewing of Transformers tonight.
