Segway soccerbot
The soccer-playing Segway made its debut at the RoboCup in Portugal this past July. The soccerbot uses a Segway P series (smaller model) and sports a Linux-powered laptop to handle all the gooey stuff like ball tracking and locomotion. We can only hope this inspires some sort of 80's style feel-good movie where a rag-tag group of robots dream of making it to the "big time" and practice each day to fulfill their dream of going to the World Cup. Maybe Steve Guttenberg can be the coach, since he already knows how to deal with robots.
