    Disappointing. I was hoping they were going to use the kitten as the ball.

    Seriously, that kitten is the worst goalkeeper ever to walk onto the pitch. I mean, where does he/she/it get off standing inside of the friggin goal. You can’t hope to stop a shot when the moment the ball gets to you it’s on the boards. Not to mention the lack of any sort of angle coverage…poor showing indeed!

    @Dave: Go see Colin’s site for the definitive robot soccer (who are possibly interacting with kittens) info. The man proposed to his wife through obfuscated Perl code, so you know, he’s hardcore. :)
    @AmasonK: Sadly, kitty plays for Argentina. Not long after he got off the plane a mob surrounded and killed him. They’re freaking serious about their robotic soccer.

    I do work on robot soccer but the kitty video wasn’t done here, it’s from some guys in Turkey :)
    A couple years ago, we did a match with our robots vs. puppies. I will say the cat in the video did a much better job than the puppies did, though the puppies are cute too. We don’t have videos, but here are some pictures:
