Czech Science Czech robots practise bowling for Eurobot 2005 contest
For the eighth year running, the Eurobot contest has been trying to combine science with fun. Small robots designed by national teams compete in performing certain given tasks, for example playing beach rugby. Czech teams have been taking part in this international amateur robotics contest since 2001 and this year the Czechs took two prizes. At the moment, the robots are busy training again for next year's national qualification and the May international final in Switzerland. Pavla Horakova went to the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics to talk to the "coach" of this year's winning robot, Dr David Obdrzalek, from the Department of Software Engineering. She asked him first to describe what the robots look like.
