The videos of our previous games during the RoboCup World Championships has been published at http://carpenoctem.das-lab.net/~cn/wm2009-videos-cut/. We will also publish the videos of the next games.
During our game versus WinKIT, Ralf Kauter sends an live reportage in the radio station “Deutschlandfunk”. As I have had an interview in the morning with Ralf, many of the information, he mentioned in his reportage, references to our team even if he talks about the midsize league in general. As it is in German, I added the German summary of the reportage:
Computertechnik. – In der steirischen Landeshauptstadt Graz treten in diesem Jahr die besten Blechkicker der Welt gegeneinander an. Das Spektrum der insgesamt fünf Ligen reicht von rollenden Robotern im Puck-Format zu hüfthohen menschenähnlichen zweibeinigen Robotern. Der Wissenschaftsjournalist Ralf Krauter meldet sich mit einer Reportage vom Spielfeldrand der so genannten Mid-Size-Liga.
Again a quick note: We won our second match as well.
Carpe Noctem vs. WinKIT – 2:0
Just a quick note: We won our first match.
Carpe Noctem vs. MRT – 3:0
We lost the third match as well, but this is what I assumed anyway. We’ve scored a goal against Stuttgart, that’s not bad! :)
CN:1. SRF Stuttgart – 1:4
We lost the second match… well, no reason to be upset :)
CN:MRL – 0:3
The game was (as I experienced it in from of this tiny little webcam picture) interesting, highly agile, and fast. Please correct me if I’m wrong :) It nevertheless ended in a tie.
So for the first match of Carpe Noctem we count:
CN:Hibikono-Musashi – 0:0
I’ve blogged some interesting moments… well, I just typed as fas as possible, so the text might be senseless or full of typos. Nevertheless: https://phbaer.net/2009/07/01/rc2009-match-against-hibikono-musashi

Today was the technical challenge in arbitrary ball detetection which was the crucial factor for the game plan concerning the first round robin. The goal was to detect three different kinds of balls (which weren’t known before of course) from different start locations. To make it short: It was really hard for nearly all the teams to find the balls or even dribble with them to make a goal. With two out of six possible points the Carpe Noctem team made the 6th place and therefore is in group B:
Group B:
- 1. RFC Stuttgart
- MRL
- Carpe Noctem
- Hibikino-Musashi
- MRT – Milan RoboCup Team
- WinKIT
- Hong Kong Dragons
