Idea Outline
My idea is to improve the efficiency of robots in dangerous rescue works and maybe in the future to replace human ; or create a player that is able to reproduce the movements and actions of a real football player.

The Challenge
The soccer challenge consisting of two autonomous robots play in an environment that simulates a football field chasing a special light-emitting ball in an enclosed field . Rescue Robots are committed to quickly and accurately locate victims within a field that simulates the ruins of a disaster. Inside the arena the robots will have to deal with problems of varying difficulty from following a line on a surface pianaal move through the obstacles of uneven ground.

The Solution

The project required a high level of knowledge of electronics and circuit boards were made by us, by placing infrared receivers around the perimeter of the robot.
in this way the robot player recognizes the position of the ball and with an electronic compass understands where the goal is located.

Instead the Rescue robot must follow the line on the floor through the color sensors positioned so as to be sure of the presence of the black line.
in addition to this, the rescue robot must avoid obstacles with proximity sensors.

In case you won the prize would buy engines more precise for the player and the rollers for kicking the ball infrared effect, or would realize robot rescue able to locate more quickly the victims

Target group and social impact
in the future, these robots could be developed to help humans in emergency situations (Rescue) or to deal with the National Football human and maybe even beat them (Soccer)
