German Open 2013: After the Games

After 5 long and exhausting days we finally returned to Leipzig. The tension of yesterday's games still remains in our heads and we took home a lot of impressions and ideas from this very satisfying event.


Now we are looking forward to the upcoming World Championships in July where we hope to see as thrilling games as in Magdeburg.

Sunday 28 April 2013

2nd place!!!

In a very competitive match we managed to score two goals against the former world champion B-Human and have therefore successfully claimed the second place in the German Open 2013.


After a very strong first half (score: 1:1) B-Human successfully defended their position at the head of the German Open competition with a final score of 7:2.



5:0 vs SPQR: We're in the finals!

We defeated the Italian team SPQR in the semi finals with an overwhelming score of 5:0.


After finishing the preliminary rounds, we are the team holding the second best overall score of 7, scored the second most goals of 18 and have the second biggest goal difference of 15.



The final match will be held at 15:00. Let's hope for an as interesting match.

10:50 o'clock: A Draw

We did a draw against RoboEireann: 3:3. But they played with 4 Robots while we only used 1 :)

Okay.. maybe we should use more, but this way Starbuck could present himself in the best light ;)

First Match at 10:50

Don't miss it - Stream is online: http://robocup.imn.htwk-leipzig.de/pages/livestream.php?lang=de

The first match starts at 10:50 but because we could only test our Nao on the big field two times before today, we still have Problems with localization.
But we do our best to solve this problem as fast as possible.
And then there was darkness. Nao at night
(At Midnight the light was shutdown so we couldn't test anymore. Such a pitty!)

RoboCup GermanOpen 2013 in Magdeburg

Today we started really too early in the morning from Leipzig.

But thanks to this we now have much time for coding here in Magdeburg.
Now we can check and test the Software with the Nao's on the new big field!
We hope for good games on the following days.




On Saturday a Television-Team from MDR is going to be here and make a transmission.
