| Abstract: |
Robotic soccer is an interesting game which involves two teams
of 5 robots each. Each team of robots must cooperate with each other in
order to put as many balls as possible into the opponent goal. This paper
describes Alpha++, the team that we have developed for the Pacific-Rim RoboCup-98
competition, held in November 1998, in Singapore. Alpha++ is a collaboration
between Alpha Centre of Ngee Ann Polytechnic and Alpha Innovations Pte Ltd.
Due to the lack of time and experience, we purchased five Mach-5 robots
from Newton Research Labs and concentrated our effort on the software aspect
of the game. |
