Yesterday the first two games took place: Drop-In Games. Two teams play together against the other two teams on the German Open, and each team supplies two robots.

Around 4 pm the first game started, in which the Rhoban Football Club play together with the WF Wolves against the 1. RFC Berlin (formerly FUmanoids) and the Hamburg Bit-Bots.

 

The game at 7 pm took place with the same combination of teams. In neither game a goal was scored, but robots from both team Rhoban and RFC Berlin saw the ball and had contact with the ball several times.

 

This morning the third game took place, in which the RFC Berlin played with the WF Wolves against Rhoban Football Club and Hamburg Bit-Bots.

One of our robots, Wilma, managed to see the ball at Kickoff and walked toward it,  but fell. Before she managed to fully get up, two other robots, one from Rhoban and one from Berlin reached the ball, but stood too close to each other so that neither could properly kick the ball.

The robot from Rhoban moved the ball a bit but then fell on it. A second robot from team Rhoban reached the ball and began to manoeuvre the ball into a corner next to their own goal, and to repeatedly move the ball out of the playing field.

 

Wilma tried to join the game after a while, and managed to slowly but surely get up, but she fell when she tried to start walking. One robot of the Wolves ran into a goalpost and one robot of team Rhoban strayed into the opponent’s goal.

The ball got moved to the middle line, and the robot from team Rhoban walked straight towards it, and past it, just to manoeuvre the ball into the same corner again where it went out of the playing field again.

With that, the game also ended in a tie.
