We had our first match against the NUBots from Australia this morning. We were evenly matched, but on field our robots had some troubles, like game-ball recognition, since the game field was very dark and the general lighting conditions weren’t that good either. Furthermore we had to struggle with an unstable WLAN connection with the gamecontroller. Nevertheless we managed to maintain a score of 0:0.

The second match was only an hour later and Maike was chosen for the referee of another game also. This was unfortunate, since we couldn’t improve much meanwhile. At the beginning of the match against Team RoBIU from Israel, Maike wasn’t finished with her job. Furthermore our game was at another game-field again. This resulted in another problem: we had to correct the game-ball recognition again. With the help of a timeout and the half-time break we managed to fix it, so that we were able to play correctly in the second half. This is visualized in the score: In our first half our opponents scored 4 goals, but in the second half only one. So the game end with a score of 0:5.

After that we focused on the upcoming last match against the world cup holders DARwin and the throw-in-challenge, coming up tomorrow noon.
And so a stressful day is drawing to an end.
