Group Phase Day 1

Did you notice how I just obscured that I did not post for 2 days after the Day 0 update? To the untrained eye, it might even look like we weren't so incredibly busy that we had enough time to write blog posts. But like any good deception, there's hopefully just enough truth to it to keep you reading further. Specifically, the matches have indeed just begun and we just played our first match against B-Human, our eternal adversary. Statistically, we managed an ~11% performance increase going from a 9:0 loss at the Bordeaux final to an 8:0 today, if you ignore the German Open, that is.

Oh well, there is no nice way of saying it: That was pretty terrible. Robots fresh from the NAO clinic were still a little shakey on their feet, maybe the meds hadn't worn off just yet? Either way, we sent them right back after the fact. Additionally, our most recent changes did not work all the time - 3 own goals in the first half are a troubling sign of underlying issues, we're on it!

Either way, see for yourself (if you can bear it)

The Green Screen interviews at the beginning of the videos are back and so is the voice over. Eileen tells you about her team B-Human and our very own Tobias provides insights to help you follow along. 

In the spirit of doing too much and going for the imaginary social media world champion title, we also added a quick little interview with one of the B-Human developers from the half time break - on the exact turf where the first half had just ended seconds before!

 


Game 2 with the Bembelbots
&
Techincal Challenge with Lennart

For round 2, we'll be facing off against the Bembelbots from Frankfurt later this afternoon, who are sitting right behind us in the team area. 

 



After that, we'll head straight to the area for the Technical Challenge, where Lennart, our youngest teammate at just 15 years of age, will put his skills to the test in the Shared Autonomy Challenge.
