Owaribito-CU 2010 Robots
We have improved some points of our soccer robots for RoboCup 2010. These
robots are equipped with a holding device and a kicking device. Our kicking
device now has a chip shot function. Four omniwheels are used for the driving
mechanism; they aid in realizing omnidirectional motion. The hardware specifi-
cations are listed in Table 1. The robot is shown in Figure 1.
