more progress on soccerbots ...

Our first soccerbot ball scoops just arrived from the machinist.



These scoops have less curve (a larger radius) than the original prototype - we'll have to experiment to see whether this is desirable, but in any case, they look good and mount easily to the front of the SRV-1.



It will be interesting to run these soccerbots under control of Pyro and Webots, as both robot simulation / control packages have fully developed RoboCup simulators. We'll soon be adding some basic image processing functions to the firmware that will enable location / tracking of the ball and goals.
