Though they were only at our event for a short time, it was great to see a state TV channel come to our scrimmage. Plus–this article included a follow-up to our competition in Atlanta! Rock on, WMTW.
Programmers get their kicks Portland Press Herald, 04/18/06.
Three pictures, front page above the fold in the Local & State section–Great article!
Apparently, we were also on TV last night on WMTW 8 last night… did anyone catch it?
Robo dogs don’t exactly ‘bend it like Beckahm,’ but they get the job done – The Times Record 04/17/06.
My favorite line: “The thing is, robot dog soccer is like a regular soccer game in slo-mo. Soccer on Ambien.” We are the lead picture in the ‘news’ section also. Nice work, RoboCuppers!
Robot-enthusiasts! If you’re in the Brunswick, ME area and want to see Bowdoin’s RoboCup team in action, come to Daggett Lounge (Thorne Dining Hall) on Bowdoin College Campus this Friday, 2-4pm! At 2:30pm we’ll be holding a big scrimmage and at 3:30pm we’ll be showing off some demostrations of our robots’ abilities. The public is welcome to come between 2-4pm. The paper and TV press will be covering the event and many Bowdoin students, faculty, and staff will be attending. For the team, this scrimmage is the first test of its code base in preparation for the U.S. Open in Atlanta and the World Championships in Bremen, Germany.
Any questions about the event feel free to contact us!
