RoboCupJunior Game.
This game is a one-on-one robot soccer game. The game is with real robots, for example LEGO MINDSTORMS robots. The robots use only simple sensors and motors, but a special smart, electronic ball is used to allow the robots to detect it. The robots are programmed with a user-guided behavior-based approach. The game was tested at both RoboCup'99 in Stockholm and at the MIT Media Lab MindFest '99, and children from 7 years and up were able to make their own LEGO MINDSTORMS robot soccer players to play in small tournaments within 30-60 minutes. The RoboCupJunior Game was developed by Henrik Hautop Lund and Luigi Pagliarini.

Co-evolution of Robot Soccer Players
This game is connected with the Simulation game. After running co-evolution at home, and uploading evolved controllers to the server for play against other virtual robots, the evolved robots on the Hall of Fame list will participate at the RoboCup event. Here, the controllers will be downloaded to, for example, the physical Khepera robots with the K213 linear vision system, and the robots will play one-on-one games in the tournament. Developed by Esben Ostergaard and Henrik Hautop Lund.
