The RMIT team consists of a combination of one Pioneer platform and three custom developed robot platforms. We address the research problems of improved vision; together with the ability to control the movement of the robot more accurately in a wide variety of conditions. Our experience of play in this league has taught us that these research problems of physical agent mobility dominate over the (also important) problems of coordination and team play. We have concentrated on making our robots move faster (up to 3m/sec) with better control. To progress development of the team we have also constructed a software simulator of the robots which enables our strategy developers to more rapidly test strategies in parallel with construction of physical robots.
