RoboCup Junior Soccer

In the RoboCupJunior Soccer challenge, teams of young engineers need to design, build, and program two fully autonomous mobile robots to compete against another team in matches. The robots must detect a ball and score into a color-coded goal on a special field that resembles a human soccer field.

To be successful, participants must demonstrate skill in programming, robotics, electronics and mechatronics. Robots must be constructed and programmed exclusively by student members of the team. All are expected to compete, learn, have fun, and grow.
