Loosing against the Brainstomers, the later tournament winner, in the quarter finals, the DAINAMITE team arrived 6th at this years Robocup. 3 places better than in last years competition. With Brainstormers vs. WrightEagle we saw the same finalists for three worldcups in a row. The fact, that real innovations become sparse, indicates to me, that the problem of intelligent soccer is close of being solved for the very limited scenario found in the 2D Robocup simulation league. Maybe it’s time to focus on the more complex 3D scenario!?
