RoboCup: Questions to Consider
RoboCup 2007 ended today in Atlanta, with robots playing soccer to show the cutting edge of robotic technology.
The pictures are great, the other programs are fascinating. I'm waiting for the next iteration of robotic soccer, involving robot fans. For example, will they be programmed to reflect national attributes. Will we see:
-- English robot fans rioting and chanting anti-black and anti-semitic slogans?
-- Arab robot soccer teams refusing to play Israeli robots?
-- Latin American robot fans chanting anti-American slogans?
-- US female robots tearing off their coverings to show the mechanical works underneath?
-- a plucky robot team from South Korea?

Never mind plucky South Korea, I want to see teams from Montserrat and Bhutan battling it out in a cloud of rust and amid deafening metallic screeching noises before ending the game strewn across the pitch in a heap of cogs and bearings.
