So, would you like a real challenge? How about getting robots to play soccer but only by using your head? Check the link to the video from YouTube below, to see what 1,000 kids got to try out at LEGOWorld in Copenhagen!
The NXT Soccer game is made by NeXTSTORM from Greece, using several NXTs, HiTechnic Accelerometers and Gyro Sensors and a big portion of imagination and patience.
In the video you can see children of all ages playing with the robots tilting their heads to make the robots do what they wanted them to! When it got too challenging you could hold the helmet in your hand - or try out controlling the robots with your cellphone - using the MINDdroid app for Android devices.
Video Link: Enjoy the great video from LEGOWorld!
Remember, only when the weather turns really bad you should let robots play soccer for you! Nothing beats the real game! That is, until the robots learn to play as well as humans...
