UK teams prepare for RoboCup 2007

Eight teams of youngsters across England are preparing to travel to the United States next month to represent the UK in the junior league at RoboCup 2007, to be held at Georgia Tech in Atlanta on 2-6 July.
The teams will participate in three competitions – RoboDance, RoboRescue and RoboSoccer.
What is RoboCupJunior?
RoboCup is an international scientific endeavour whose goal is to produce a humanoid robot football team capable of beating the human World Cup champions by the year 2050. RoboCupJunior is designed to introduce RoboCup to primary and secondary school children. The focus in the junior league is on education. RoboCupJunior intends to inspire today’s children to become tomorrow’s engineers – perhaps the same engineers who’ll create the 2050 humanoid robot football champions!
RoboCupJunior offers several challenges, each emphasizing both cooperative and competitive aspects. For children, the Junior initiative provides an exciting introduction to the field of robotics, a new way to develop technical abilities through hands-on experience with electronics, hardware and software, and a highly motivating opportunity to learn about teamwork while sharing technology with friends. RoboCupJunior provides a unique opportunity for participants with a variety of interests and strengths to work together as a team to achieve a common goal.
UK Teams
Five of the teams who'll be representing the UK at RoboCup 2007 are veterans of RoboCup 2006 in Bremen last summer. A joint team from Amberfield School and Farlingaye High School (Suffolk) is competing in Secondary RoboDance. St. Paul's C of E Primary School (Warwickshire) is participating in Primary RoboDance. Calday Grange Grammar School (Wirral) is competing in the technically demanding Primary RoboSoccer. GYFW Longridge Consortium is competing in both Primary RoboRescue and Primary RoboSoccer.
Also participating in Primary RoboDance is Tithe Farm Lower School (Bedfordshire). Monks Walk School (Hertfordshire) and Prenton High School for Girls (Wirral) are both competing in Secondary RoboRescue.
