RoboCup 2010, a six-day event in Singapore during which robot geeks from around the world let their robots play soccer against each other, ended last week with a German triumph. In the final game, the Darmstadt Dribblers from the Technische Universität in Darmstadt beat the FUmanoids, a team of robots developed at Freie Universität in Berlin 7:1.

The game was actually a rematch, as the FUmanoids played (and lost 1:11) against the Dribblers at last year’s RoboCup in Graz, Austria. The video embedded below shows the entire final of the tournament in Singapore in fast motion (9.24 min).
