Creating a Robot Soccer Team from Scratch: the Brainstormers Tribots

This paper describes the team strategy of the robot soccer team of the Dortmund University. Key features are a simple but robust mechanical design, the use of omnidirectional view and motion and the implementation of Monte Carlo techniques in image understanding, sequential sensor integration and motion planning.
