There are also other areas such as search and rescue that are not quite as much of draw.
I am currently taking classes at Georgia Tech (where the event is being hosted) so I get in for free! If anyone desperately needs a picture of something specific let me know (aka reply) and I will try my best to relay it to you or get it in the flickr pool.]]>Jul 5th 2007 1:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/04/the-sights-and-sounds-of-robocup-2007/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/04/the-sights-and-sounds-of-robocup-2007/Jul 11th 2007 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/04/the-sights-and-sounds-of-robocup-2007/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/04/the-sights-and-sounds-of-robocup-2007/

In the final match the titleholder Team Osaka (Japan) met team NimbRo from Freiburg University (Germany). The same two teams had met in the two previous years. The 2007 final was one of the best humanoid soccer games ever, if not the best. Team Osaka played with one goalie and one field player while NimbRo used two field players. The Osaka robots were very quick to approach the ball and to kick it across the field. The NimbRo robots excelled in one-on-one fights for the ball and also demonstrated nice team play. The exciting game was open until the end. The final score was 8:6 for NimbRo.

The NimbRo robots not only won the KidSize soccer competition, but also the TeenSize Penalty Kick, where they defeated Pal Technology (Spain) 5:4 in the final.
