The Eindhoven Maker Faire was again a great event. This year we had two activities. We played a match 2 against 2 on a small field. The audience was entertained with nice dribbles and a shots on the goals. For the youth there was the possibility to program the robots. Via a graphical programming environment (Snap!), they were able to let the robots drive over the field to the ball. This was done with great enthusiasm.

Our robots have just come back from an intensive and exhausting tournament at the Festival Nacional de Robótica 2019. Now unpacking, checking whether everything is okay and performing the first tests after the long trip.

Besides an intensive and exhausting tournament with very long days, we had interesting, learning but also funny moments. Now it is time to look back and think what can we change for future games. Are the robots gonna be upgraded? Are there gonna be new built from scratch robots? Keep an eye closed on us to get an answer to all these questions and more! Or even better, join us on this challenge to get the robots faster and smarter!

Every year the rules for playing on the RoboCup MSL competition slightly change in order to make a more competitive, creative and challenging game towards 2050... In 2050 the RoboCup team winner would play against the World Cup champion!

One of these rules says that in order to score a goal, there should be a pass between two robots of the same team. Here we can see the robots training a bit :D
