Second game at the German Open 2025

 This afternoon we played our second game of the German Open 2025. In this match we faced off against Berlin United, who, you guessed it, came from Berlin.

With hardware problems remaining, we played the first half with five robots. The first obstacle for both teams was to identify the referee and to watch out for their hand-signal. This signal allows the robots to enter the field. Both teams managed this challenge. After some back and forth play we entered the half time break leading by 2:0.

 In the first few minutes of the second half Berlin put some pressure on us. We managed to defend and mount a successful counter-attack. In the end we won this match 4:0.

RoboCup German Open 2025 in Nürnberg – Opening Game verses B-Human

 After our arrival in Nürnberg yersterday the German Open 2025 began. Today we played the current world champion in the openning match.

 

In the first half, we could still defend and only conceeded 3 goals. For a score of 0:3 at half time. Sadly the second half was not as glorious. We conceeded another 4 goals for a final score of 0:4. This game still gave us good insights into what needs to be improved.

Hardware was a problem: In the second half we only had a total of three functioning robots. All broken robots have been sent to the "Nao-Clinic"

Current challenges are the detection of the newly introduced poses of the referee for free kicks and other breaks in play. A good implementation requires that the robots know where the referee is and where they are on the field in order to find the referee from there.
