(RoboCup Soccer Finalists Flop Even More Than Their World Cup Counterparts In the recent finals of the world's most prestigious tiny robot soccer tournament, the Darmstadt Dribblers housed the FUmanoids ۷-۱. Here's the (mercifully) sped-up video of the match, complete with theatrics I haven't seen since I last watched Italy play. The two finalists were both German teams, which might explain the stiffness. And the game itself was actually a rematch between last year's finalists, also resoundingly lost by the FUmanoids (۱۱-۱). Impressive engineering and all that (except for all the falling down). But when is the US finally going to have a competitive tiny robot soccer program of its own? [Plastic Pals via CrunchGear]
