This year was RoboCup world championship held in Singapore from 19^th to 25^th June. This year were more than 3000 participants from over 500 teams registered and it means that RoboCup is the biggest and most important robotic competition in the world.

 We took part in Soccer B category along with other 43 teams from around the world. After three days of competition we finished on 9^th place and should continue to finals. But unfortunately we were replaced by other team, becouseof Superteam ranking. In spite of this it was a great success for us.

 We would like to that all our sponsors and supporters for they help, becouse without them this all will not be possible. 

We have succesfully qualified for upcoming RoboCup 2010 in Singapore. We have finished second in local RoboCup competition. More information about RoboCup Slovakia and results can be found here: www.robotika.sk/rcj

We have arrived in Graz on Monday June 29^th. We did some sightseeing till Wednesday, when we went to the Stadthalle for setup and registration. Unfortunetly in the morning before setup our robots stopped working. First the ball sensors went bad and then the controller board too. So we had to use the spare Lego robots. Therefore our final position wasn't very good, we finished 24^th from 30 teams. At least we know, that we have to make our robots more reliable for next year.

This year was the RoboCup Junior Slovakia held in Liptovsky Hradok. We have used improved versions of our robots that you can see in section Robots->Player v.1.5. We were playing fairly good even though we put many own goals. Out of more than 120 participants we finished on third place and qualified for world championship in Graz.

We were in Vienna from March 28^th  and 29^th . Why? Because we took part in Austrian RoboCup Junior competition. The robots we have used are in section Robots->Player v.1.0. We have finished on fifth place. That was a success for us, because we had broken sensors. At least we've got many new experiences and found out what we have to improve for Slovakian RoboCup.
