Israel Fields Robotic Soccer Team
Israel may not have been able to enter a soccer team into the World Cup, but it did get picked for the world cup in soccer robotics.The Israeli national team didn’t make the cut for this year’s World Cup soccer tournament, in fact they’ve only made the cut once — in 1970. But that doesn’t faze Israelis who are more known for their high tech prowess, over sport, any way. Using their brains instead of brawn, a group of Israeli researchers and their students headed to Singapore for six days in June to coach their own kind of soccer team — one made of robots at the annual RoboCup tournament.
