Kylose Boondoggler writes "Sony AIBOs play soccer against each other in the American Open 2003, hosted by Carnegie Mellon University in preparation for RoboCup '03. Teams from all over North and South America (including teams from Georgia Tech, Cornell, and UPenn) will compete in various leagues from soccer-playing AIBO to pure computer simulations. Local newspaper coverage is provided by The Tartan. Honda's ASIMO will also make an appearance along with rescue robots constructed by Carnegie Mellon."

When are they going to make driving robots by vespazzari · 2003-05-04 05:22 · Score: 0, Offtopic

I think it would be a lot cooler if these robots would drive my car instead of just playing soccer.

RoboCup: Portnoy's Complaint by Anonymous Coward · 2003-05-04 05:24 · Score: -1, Offtopic

Portnoy's Complaint n. [after Alexander Portnoy (1933- )] A disorder in which strongly-felt ethical and altruistic impulses are perpetually warring with extreme sexual longings, often of a perverse nature. Spielvogel says: 'Acts of exhibitionism, voyeurism, fetishism, auto-eroticism and oral coitus are plentiful; as a consequence of the patient's "morality," however, neither fantasy nor act issues in genuine sexual gratification, but rather in overriding feelings of shame and the dread of retribution, particularly in the form of castration.' (Spielvogel, O. "The Puzzled Penis," Internationale Zeitschrift für Psychoanalyse, Vol. XXIV, p. 909.) It is believed by Spielvogel that many of the symptoms can be traced to the bonds obtaining in the mother-child relationship.
I don't know which is funnier by fjordboy · 2003-05-04 05:24 · Score: 0, Offtopic

Either the title: "Robocup" (hehe..do robots even need that protection?) or the idea of aibo's going against each other competitively. That's just hilarious! I wish I could be there.
