Hey, I think I saw a game between those same two teams at the Robogames thing at San Francisco State University. The goalkeepers weren't bad, but I lost count of how many times they had to haul dogs out because they got stuck walking into each other.

One interesting thing the article doesn't mention (maybe because they didn't do it in Atlanta) was that they had the teams switch ends at half time, but they didn't actually move them, just switched the software. It makes sense, but it was pretty confusing to watch.
