A lot of the teams in robocups Aibo division have reprogramed the robots walks and vision processing systems to be more efficient. Here is a quote from the match report of the grand final from this years winners (UNSW United) - :
The French walk seemed largely unchanged since last year, when they had an advantage over our robots, as their walk was stronger, and they often knocked our robots over in pursuit of the ball. This year the tables were turned, as the new UNSW walk was much faster and stronger than the LRP walk. Often in the Legged League robots will tangle their legs, but this year UNSW was often able to pull free and continue pursuit of the ball.
I think the previous couple of years the winners had been the ones who had done the best job of reprogramming the vision processing system.
There apparently is a way of tipping the musician - fairtunes.com. I haven't gotten around to looking at them yet but this wired article was interesting.
