Subject: [alt-beam] Re: Some ideas about. Soccer Bots?
nice! but that would make these bots similar to those in the
robocup/microsot (microsoccer)/ and medium robot soccer bots. they all use
a RC platform, wired to a well.. something similar...hehheh
btw... if you never heard of those robots mentioned above, don't worry,
they are the terms we use to identify them over here..perhaps it goes by
another name out there?
