  1. Re:new crunching machine by timeOday · · Score: 1 · on Iran Builds Supercomputer From Banned AMD Parts

    Speaking of which, here's a photo of an Iran vs Spain matchup at RoboCup 2007, which was in Atlanta, GA. (Heck, I wouldn't be surprised at all if some of those Iranian university students do run seti@home). So, the idea that they're all just a bunch of backwards lunatics living in caves, and the surprise that they could somehow acquire commodity PC parts, seems a little odd to me.

    A friend of mine was working with the GA Tech Small (soccer-playing) robot division, but we're out of town right now (until Friday). Here are lots of pictures and a schedule though, for those in the Atlanta area or looking for updates. We'll post some "before" GA Tech pictures to that gallery sometime soon, too.

    Yep, I'm on the Northern Bites, the 4-legged league team from Bowdoin College, ME.

    Games are under way, and we've seen some interesting play so far. Some of our league's team sites are:

    The world cup site is http://www.robocup-us.org/ as mentioned above.

    Check out some recent video at http://youtube.com/watch?v=AqclRmMCyWA
    Unfortunately, this is pretty ugly play for both teams involved. It was a practice match, and much (like a well-functioning wireless network) wasn't set up yet. Our team has no network communication and is missing some dogs at times :-)

    Hopefully we'll have some better video up soon on google vids (it's capturing from the camera now, regulation play only started this morning)
  4. Different robot soccer leugues by MoHaG · · Score: 1 · on RoboCup 2007 Opens At Georgia Tech

    Not all RoboCup robots are humanoid though.... Some are small wheeled robots with colored blobs on the top to ease their detection....

    Another league exists: FIRA... FIRA's "RoboWorld Cup 2007" takes place between 14 and 17 July.... I'm actually doing a team's vision system... (not for the RoboWorld Cup though....)

    and (the exact same story) on the Robocup official site: http://www.robocup-us.org/press.html

    Texas lost *a* game Germany 2-0. I don't see anywhere that says that it was the championship game. As an insider, are you saynig Texas did not play Dortmund at all?

  6. Deceptive summary by l00sr · · Score: 1 · on German Robot Dogs Dominate 2005 RoboCup U.S. Open

    The Dortmund (German) team was not allowed to participate in the competition proper, but it did play various exhibition matches. The game against UT Austin was the one described in the article. The final was between Carnegie Mellon and U. of Pennsylvania (my team). Penn lost 1-2 in overtime despite controlling most of the game due to two incredibly unlucky 'own goals' in the last minute or so of play.
