Design and implementation of a robot soccer team based on omni-directional wheels

Abstract

This paper describes work currently underway in building a robotic soccer team at Vaasa Polytechnic (BOTNIA). This contribution emphasises the design and implementation of a set of Jive robots based on omni-directional wheels. At the time of writing this paper, a set of Jive omni-directional robots have been designed and used in the testing and implementation of a cooperative robotic system for RoboCup games.
