Kondo Cup 2010 in Akihabara, Tokyo

After the mini soccer World Cup, Robocup 2010 in Germany, the Kondo Cup takes place in Asia. Created in 2006, the Kondo Cup takes place regularly throughout the year. This robot soccer tournament is held in the electronics quarter of Akihabara in Tokyo, Japan. The robots that perform as soccer players are from the KHR-Series (KHR-1, 2-3) for the first class and other prototypes with less limitations regarding the servos in a second class called "open". These are not small rolling robots but rather real humanoid robots which run, push and hit the ball. Here are some videos of the competition: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRGu_hxeHdM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmxS6bTBmc4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JIvD6VFpOE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmFFpa8kAy8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqTdjFXohq0 via bipedrobotnewsjapan
