Serious LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Soccer

This is a fully automatic Soccer Game System made with LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT.
Two autonomous robot players challenge on a field that is a robot itself!
In fact it counts the scores and throws in the ball back after a goal.
The system was developed by Mario Ferrari and Daniele Benedettelli during 2010.
The robots localize on the field using RFID tags.
