Its that time again, I was puttering around on the MAKE blog today and noticed that the RoBoCup expo was going on. What is RoBoCup you ask?

But what is RoBoCup exactly? It’s a competition between small robots from a number of universities or manufacturers. There are two main themes: an obstacle course and a football game. The last one seemed to be the most popular (we recommend the Aibo football game). There was also a small booth with the latest in cybernetics.

There, that’s it in a nut shell. Yet another reason to go visit Japan. Osaka would be mighty fine this time of year…
