==Leagues== The RoboCup contest currently has a number of football leagues: * Standard Platform League (formerly Four Legged League) ** Small Size League ** Middle Size League ** Simulation League *** 2D Soccer Simulation *** 3D Soccer Simulation * Humanoid League

Additionally, there is a RoboCupJunior league for younger students.

== qfix Soccer robot == [[Image:qfix-Terminator.jpg|thumb|qfix "Terminator"]] The qfix football robot "Terminator" is an omnidrive robot that can be used for RoboCup Junior. It includes a kicker and a dribbler as well as a controller board with Atmel controller.

The robot can be programmed using the GNU GCC compiler.

== Graupner RC-SOCCERBOT == The Graupner "RC-SOCCERBOT" is a mobile robot platform developed by qfix which can be used as a radio-controller toy playing soccer with ping-pong balls. Gaining more experience in robotics the user can also implement C++ programs on the robot.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://elektronik.nmp24.de/downloads/Soccerbot_Bauanleitung.pdf|title=RC-SOCCERBOT|website=elektronik.nmp24.de}}</ref>
