Abstract
The Autonomous Mini-Robot Soccer Tournament (AMiRoSoT) league that we describe in this article uses small size robots and a small size field to make the league widely accessible for education and research by keeping the entry barrier to the competition low. We describe the motivation for small size soccer robots and the design criteria applied to the formulation of the league’s rules. We examine the requirements for the robots capable of playing in the league and discuss possible low cost robot realisations. An analysis of the goal kicking behaviour illustrates the breath and depth, and the educational and research opportunities, of the league.
