4th place for the b-it bots at RoboCup World Cup in Japan!

Our team had quite a bit of bad luck: First a suitcase with vital equipment went missing so that the team had to start late into the competition. Then the camera (the "eye" of the robot) broke down and had to be replaced by an older model. However, the team adapted extremely well to the situation and switched to the brand new ASUS camera for the fourth and last day of the competition. In an all-night hacking session the requisite software was developed -which was definitely worth the effort: The team finished as the highest scorer of the final round!

Hats off to so much fighting spirit and endurance! We believe that the b-it bots are well equipped for the next round of the European Robotics League -both mentally and technically.
