you might be interested in our latest video produced at RoboCup German Open 2005.
It features our Kondo KHR-1 in penalty kick demonstrations against the
KHR-1 of Darmstadt Dribblers.
Both robots are fully autonomous, controlled by a Pocket PC that processes video of a wide-angle camera, generates trajectories for the joints and uses wireless communication to send debug information to an off-the field computer.

The 4-servos extension set turned out to be very helpful for turning the robot towards the goal.
