The Robots
Our RoboSoccer team consists of two types of robots: three Nomad Scout robots
(used by Delft and Amsterdam) and one Pioneer 2 robot (used by Utrecht).

For communication between robots we use a wireless Ethernet system, with a
data rate of max. 3 Mbps giving the robot an action radius of up to 1 km.
It uses the 2.4GHz ISM band and is compliant with IEEE 802.11. Specifications
of the robots are given in table .
