RoboSoccer Overview

Our first robotics project was our RoboSoccer bot.
It’s not a human like robot playing soccer with robotic legs — it’s a simple RC-controlled, four-wheeled bot (you can think of it as a small car) that pushes the ball toward the goal. Matches are usually 1v1.

The Bot

Here is our first build. I think it looked pretty good — but unfortunately, it broke during its very first match. :(

Here is our V2. I don’t have a great photo of it, and it doesn’t look better than V1 — but it managed to score a few goals and lasted until the end. It was a good improvement!

Here are some images of bots from other teams. They are much more advanced and built by teams with way more experience than us.

The Arena

This is what an arena looks like. It’s about 2.5m by 2m in size.

The Game

The objective of the game is the same as in regular football: score goals. The team that scores the most goals wins the match.

Here is a clip from one of our games. As you can see, it’s more like sumo wrestling than football!

Here are links to some games that are much better than ours:
