Carpe Noctem vs. 1. RFC Stuttgart 0:1
Our last match was (imho) really nice with quite a few scoring chances. Unfortunately … hmm, well, it’s always the same against CoPS/1.RFC: many chances but no goal :) But hey, they definitively deserved scoring this one, even though we would have deserved one as well :D
Maybe some team [...]

Carpe Noctem vs. Tech United 0:8
Due to a small nasty bug, our robots didn’t perform that well. For the next game we (hopefully) fixed it, so let’s hope for a more interesting and better-looking match against the 1. RFC Stuttgart.

Carpe Noctem vs. MostlyHarmless 9:0
Well, what to say about this game…..it was quite solid and normal.
Robots on the side of the opponent did not work very well so it was not a big challenge to win this game.
Hopefully there is something more to tell at the half finals.
So stay tuned for the matches to come.

… but still not heavy enough:

Carpe Noctem vs. Tech United 0:5
Again this was quite an exciting match.
In the first half of the game we tried an experimental tactic with three robots attacking the opponent and one defender. It did not work that well against TU because they have an excellent ball control and kicker.
So after the first half it was [...]

Carpe Noctem vs. RFC Stuttgart 1:3
The most exciting game of the tournament……so far.
It was a nice competition between both teams with its ups and downs.
First half was quite normal, Stuttgart scored two goals in the middle of the half.
But our robots did not give up so easily. We made the 1:2 shortly after the 0:2.
At [...]

Carpe Noctem vs. Paderkicker 8:0
After yesterdays defeat, our team put a lot of work in the software and hardware to reach a better result at the match against the Paderkickers.
A new Pathplanner and an experimental tactic were tested to see how big the capabilities are.
In a whole the robots were very stable again and the [...]

Carpe Noctem vs. Cambada 0:4
The sad info first. We lost our first game.
But some good news too. It was not as clear as one might think.
Nearly all of the opponents goals were made in standard situations, but two times our robots blasted Cambadas corner kicks. Hopefully you can see some of theses actions on the [...]

Carpe Noctem vs. Aachen 9:0
After a nice start (Aachen did not really move) our team realized that there are still major problems in team play and hardware. Some shots did not work very well and the goalie nearly commited suicide in the goal net.
We hope to fix these problems for the next match.
