3D Goalkeeping
Just a couple of days before the TURTLEs were shipped, our goalkeeper experts experienced a major breakthrough! Finally, after more than 300 days of hard work, we were able to stop lob balls. TURTLE number 1 did so by using sensor input from its Xbox Kinect, later this week it will also start using frontcam and laser scanner input. With only the Kinect it was able to stop approximately half the shots from a distance of five meters. Within two weeks we will know whether this is enough to become a world champion!
RTL News
Dutch news reporter Hans Schuttevisited our RoboCup stadium to record an item on Tech United competing for the world cup. It will be broadcasted on national television within a couple of days. Until then, at least we have the pictures!'
