2026 - GermanOpen in Köln

From mid-March, we were at the RoboCup GermanOpen in Cologne. There, we competed in the Small Size League alongside a total of five other teams. This year, the line-up included ER-Force (Erlangen), Immortals (Germany), luhbots (Hanover), KIKS (Japan) and a new team, N.R.G (Estonia). The format in the group stage was a round-robin tournament. We won all our matches and thus progressed to the semi-finals, although the match against N.R.G unfortunately did not take place. Following a victory in the semi-final against immortals, we faced ER-Force in the final. We won this 6-0, successfully defending our title.

In addition to the regular matches, there was also another match against teams from the junior division. There, together with ER-Force, we played against around 10 junior robots from various teams.

As this was our first tournament of the new year, several new members were also able to gain their first tournament experience and learn their official roles.

Finally, we would like to thank the RoboCup Federation, as well as all the sponsors and volunteers, for organising this great tournament.
