Competition Day One: Saturday August 4th UNSW plays the German United team and wins 11-0! It seems that many teams have emulated the powerful UNSW walk which was an important factor in last year's impressive performance. The team stayed up to the wee hours of Sunday morning tweaking their code after the experience of today's game. Competition Day Two: Sunday August 5th UNSW plays home team Washington on their own turf and wins 12-0! Washington is one of three new teams that are competing for the first time this year. After observing the two CMU matches so far (against Tokyo and Kyushu), it seems that they will be the team to beat this year. Due to the draw this year, UNSW could only meet CMU in the final. Competition Day Three: Monday August 6th UNSW plays Osaka University and wins 8-1! The goal scored against UNSW was an own goal. So the quarter final lineup is: UNSW vs Kyushu LRP vs Rome CMU vs Osaka UPenn vs USTC Competition Day Five: Wednesday August 8th UNSW plays Kyushu and wins 13-0! The team had made some major changes to vision and strategy during the day off yesterday, and it was a great relief to see that everything worked as intended. UNSW is now through to the semi-finals, where they will meet UPenn, who won their match against USTC (China) 6-2. The other semi-final will be CMU vs LRP, after CMU beat Osaka 8-1 and LRP beat Rome 5-2 Competition Day Six: Thursday August 9th UNSW plays its semi-final match against UPenn and wins 11-0! CMU won in its semi-final match against LRP 12-1, so the final tomorrow will be UNSW vs CMU. Both teams have had high scores against all their opponents, so the final will be very exciting. UNSW also won first place in the RoboCup Challenge today. Second place was UPenn, and CMU was third. RoboCup Challenge is a test of a team's soccer skills, and this year included localisation and ball-passing tests. Final Competition Day: Friday August 10th UNSW wins RoboCup 2001!!! UNSW played CMU in the final match of the Sony Legged League, and won 9-2! The team are all very happy and relieved.
