RoboCup 2012: First day scores

RoMeLa's Coleman Knabe and CHARLI

Virginia Tech’s Robotics and Mechanisms Laboratory started off strong Wednesday, 20 June 2012, during the first day of competitions at RoboCup 2012’s soccer leagues. (RoboCup also consists of several other competitions, from competitive rescue robots to a dance-off with junior-high-student-built robots playing “So You Think You Can Dance,” hence the sound of 1980s rock hits wafting in the background.) 

Here’s a roundup of scores:

Kid-Size: Team DARwIn (consisting of Virginia Tech and University of Pennsylvania students)

Vs. Plymouth Humanoids, 9-0 (Editor’s note: The judge’s sheet says 10-0, but Teen DARwIn members recall the score being 9-0, therefore we err on the side of conservatism.)

Vs. I-kid, 10-0

Teen-Size: Team DARwIn-XOS (consisting of Virginia Tech and University of Pennsylvania students)

Vs. CiT Brains, 0-3

Vs. Shayan, 0-0 (draw)

Adult-Size: CHARLI (consisting solely of Virginia Tech)

Vs. Tech United Eindhover, 2-0

Vs. Tsinghua Hephaestus, 0-4

Vs. HuroEvolution AD, 3-0

We’ll have more updates from the second day of competition as the day progresses. Go Hokies!
