John from Society Of Robots was at the 2009 Singapore Robot Games last month, and has a bunch of awesome video footage of some of the events. The above video shows hexapod and quadraped line following races, and the video below is of some robo-soccer games:

After the jump, some line following racing robots that use rotating cams instead of wheels.

Are there cameras above the robot soccer field that allow tracking of the robots?

Yep, I’m pretty sure that’s how it works, hence the patterns on the tops of the bots. It’s all off-board.

Impressive. The last time I saw robot soccer, it was a plodding affair where the robots would teeter up to the ball and ham-handedly move it around. Compared to that, this was quite a shock. So was the speed and agility for the six-legged bots. Amazing how fast things are starting to improve!
