All robot-visible lines on the soccer field (side lines, end lines, halfway line, centre circle, corner arcs, and the lines surrounding the penalty areas) are 50 millimeters in width. As with any other soccer competition, the goal is to shut out the other team.

PLAY MAKER
The Standard Platform League was called "Sony Four-Legged League" until RoboCup 2004, because it was organized by Sony and the Sony AIBO was the only robot allowed in that league. Since the AIBO is not the only platform used anymore, the name of the league was changed to "Standard Platform League" after RoboCup 2007. In 2008 the league went through a transition from the four-legged Sony AIBO to the humanoid Aldebaran Nao (seen here).

CHARLI
New this year is an "AdultSize" league. Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University has entered CHARLI, a 1.5-meter-tall plastic and metal creation. CHARLI will have to locate the soccer ball, dribble it up the court, and kick it through the goal to win.

Once there was a man who gave his wife a robot, a female one which ressembled exactly his beautiful wife and had to take over dish washing, etc. On a certain day he got a phone call at his office that his house had burned down, but his wife, lying on a sofa downstairs, was rescued. Coming home however he discovered that the robot had been saved and his wife was taken by the fire. Therefore I propose the following robotical law: No robot shall have humanlike face.
This is definitely what I have always wanted to hear.Its one the reason why I love science,its not just making the best robots but creating a platform for competition.using this it is definitly the best news I have had in a decade.kudos to science and technology.

There's more to RoboCup than soccer, such as RoboCup Rescue where robots assist in disaster areas, and RoboCup@Home, which is the largest human-robot interaction initiative on our little planet, focusing on building useful applications for our daily lifes.
