NUbots- BACK IN ACTION!

so i googled nubots and found our blog! it has been severly neglected lately so i though i should update it...

so since our last post we ended up coming second in last years robocup "that sucks!" you say, i know!

then michael, the traitor, left us for ut austin and rick moved to ireland :( *sigh*

it was all looking a little gloomy, but then we decided to enter the nao league and join forces with rick! so this year we will be the Newcastle University Maynooth humanoids- "NUManoids"! get it?! Im going to take credit for the awesome name even though it was kenny who first suggested numan but i think he was more thinking of newman from seinfield.

anyway! so me, steve (the hoff), aaron (wongy) and jason (the robot) are back in action! pereparing to kick ass! umm but i better not be too much of a smart ass just yet, we havent even got a robot yet *eek*!

Though no mention of the king of the robots this time ^^;

It looks like NUbots preparations for the World Cup are in full swing...

NUbot defeat Northern Bites in German Open Semi-Final

The NUbots held off a hard charging Northern Bites team (shown in picture) to secure a 10-3 victory in the semi-final. The score line doesn't provide a fair indication to the toughness and quality of our opponents who played an extremely good game. They did hand around beers at half time .. cheers mate ;)

Tomorrow we renew our rivalry with the evil German Team!

Welcome back NUbots !

After a resounding victory at RoboCup 2006, the NUbots plan on continuing their World Domination Tour (as correctly predicted by Naomi in 2006).

Due to popular demand the NUbots return to Germany in April and continue to Atlanta in July.

Stay tuned for more details.

Back by Popular Demand!

Due to popular damand here is a new post:

So the rabbit asked wise lion "what is your name?" and he replied " Gongo ". Ahh a fine name.

Ok so its been a while since our blog has been updated, sorry to all fans ;) and I guess the biggest news is that we played the AU open the other weekend (that is where my rabbit met Gongo) and as per usual we kicked some ass in the round robins only to be defeated in the final *damnit!*

And that day shall be next weekend (not this one) when they visit us! Yay!
