The Co-Evolutionary Robot Soccer Show is a game that allows you to develop robot soccer players by using the concept of co-evolution. You can develop the robot soccer players in the software provided for free at this web-site. You evolve different robot soccer players by changing the parameters for the evolution (the population parameters and the fitness formula parameters). When you have evolved a good robot soccer player, you can send the player to our server. Each night (European time), the server will play 50.000 matches between the uploaded players and generate a new Highscore List every morning. So you can keep track on how your player(s) is/are doing by going to this site every morning. At the end of the competition, the first players on the Highscore List will win the sponsored prizes. These prizes include a LEGO MINDSTORMS Robotic Invention System.
Further, the best four Dutch players younger than 18 years old will be invited to come to Amsterdam during RoboCup European Championship 2000 (May 28-June 2), where there will be a RoboCup Jr. event. At the RoboCup Jr. event, the four virtual players will be downloaded to the real Khepera robots and they will play a "real" robot soccer tournament with semi-finals and final.
