Soccer robots coming to kick our asses.: The RoboCup Initiative's plan is to develop "a team of fully autonomous humanoid robot soccer players [possibly including LEGO soccer robots] that can win against the human world soccer champion team" by 2050. Maybe they should enter the Federation of International Robot-soccer. If you don't want to wait, you can go up against a table soccer robot. Or kick it old school with ASCII robot soccer. Or suck up to our new robosoccer overlords by building your own soccer buddy, "with easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions."

Lets see how those bastard robots do against an EMP shockwave! Then we'll see who the BEST is.
