The day they arrived		Laser-cut wood pieces that form the backbone of each robot. The holes in the outer half of the each wheel were supposed to be used as a cheap encoder, but we decided for an external high-quality encoder.
A couple of days later		Basic assembly with the backbone pieces of the last picture.
When the motors arrived		Same as last picture but with DC motors added. Note that the wheel axis geometry will be considerably refined in the final version. This picture shows how the weels and the DC motors where supposed to be hang up according to the backbone design plan.
Assembled robot		One of the robots, almost ready (the camera is not in its final location). The processing unit (a Pentium 200 motherboard) is now on the top of the mechanical chassis. Some sensors were not installed yet.
Part of the team		Two of the robots, ready to go for the ball.
The whole team		The three robots, including the IR receivers of the self-localization system, not completely functional yet.
