Abstract
The RMIT United team is entirely based on custom-made robots of two types, one goalie robot and three field player robots. The field players are distinguished by a powerful kicking device and are largely the same as our previous year’s entry. The goalie robot is designed to move from side to side, rather than forward and back, and has tank tracks rather than wheels. The robots mainly use vision for perception, and have a dedicated digital signal processor (DSP) to interpret what it sees. The goalie robot has two cameras and two DSPs.
