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.
