RoboCup Fever!

I've been watching the World Cup mainly on channel 14, a Spanish channel, primarily because I don't have cable. Even though I can't understand a lick of Spanish, I turn up the volume anyway, cause it's fun to hear the announcer say GOL really long and loud. Prior to the World Cup, there's always a RoboCup, which is soccer played by robots. This year, an AI research team has brought for the first time... robotic announcers! How cool is that! You can read more about how they did it, and what the announcers can do. It's pretty amazing to see how tech can advance so quickly. Soon we'll have unbiased refs!
