Although this research group has started a robotic football team in1998, MINHO team has been participating in RoboCup only since 1999. Therobots were completely developed by the undergraduate team members(mechanics, hardware and software), due to budget reasons, and every year newimprovements had been made. The team came to a point where newimprovements would mean complete changes in the robot design, hardware andmechanics and that meant to build 4 new robot s. Being all member of anIndustrial Electronics department, our main research areas consist of generalelectronics, computer vision/image processing, and control. In this paper, themajor changes implemented are described and some results assessed.
