Darmstadt Dribblers

2006-05-29 Presentation of our new Robot Bruno at the Centralstation in Darmstadt

The Darmstadt Dribblers & Hajime Team will present their new, 55cm large, humanoid robots at RoboCup 2006. Being the fastest robots in their class on two legs, they are serious contenders for the championship. Both compete in the Humanoid Kid Size League (up to 60cm size).

Our striker's name is: Bruno!
He has been named after the former national team striker Bruno Labbadia who is born in Darmstadt and is the only striker who scored more than one hundred goals in each Bundesliga 1 and 2. Our robot Bruno's maximum reliable walking speed is more than 40cm/s. Bruno's jersey number is the same as Bruno Labbadia's: 9. See the announcements and articles, e.g., at Darmstädter Echo (May 31), Frankfurter Rundschau (May 31), Darmstädter Echo (May 29), IDW (May 29) and press photos as well as the video Roboter erobern die Sportplätze of the TV station ZDF.

Our goal keeper wears the jersey number 1 and is named Jan after the number one of the Technische Universität Darmstadt, President Johann-Dietrich Wörner.
