Magma: Vice World Champion and Technical Challenge winner in the Robocup!

The Offenburg University of Applied Sciences has once again demonstrated its technical competence and innovative strength. The Magma team started in Eindhoven at the prestigious Robocup competitions and again completed the season as vice world champion in the 3D simulation league. This remarkable result is not only a sign of the team's sporting performance, but also an indicator of the promotion of young talent of the university in the field of robotics and artificial intelligence.

successful group phase and exciting semi -finals

The Magma team started with an impressive group phase, in which it achieved twelve victories and two draws. Particularly noteworthy are the results of 84: 7 goals that secured the first place in their group to the Offenburgers. In the semi -finals, Magma met the Brazilian Itangroids and clearly won 4: 1, which led the team into the final against the reigning world champion FCPortugal. This encounter turned out to be an exciting rematch of the previous years.

an exciting final with a tragic end

In the final, FCPortugal was initially strong and quickly led 2-0 before Magma achieved the equalization. However, the joy only lasted briefly, since FCPortugal took the lead again and the Offenburgers never took a closer look until the end. The final score of 5: 3 made Magma for the seventh time in a row as vice world champion, which underlines the continuity of their achievements.

technical challenges and successes in the Technical Challenge

In addition to the sporting competition, Magma also shone in the Technical Challenge, where they could win overall. The team not only demonstrated its technical skills, but also showed how important research and development are to improve robot systems. Richard Pfe, a student of the university, carried out a training session to improve the throwing accuracy of the robots, which led to a remarkable average throw of 6.5 meters. This technical expertise was crucial for success in this category.

meaning for the university and the Office of Offenburg

The success of the Magma team not only strengthens the reputation of the Offenburg University of Applied Sciences in international competitions, but also promotes interest in technical courses in the region. The team leader, Professor Klaus Dorer, proudly commented on the results achieved and emphasized the important role that such competitions play for the training of the students. By participating in the Robocup, the students give the opportunity to apply practical knowledge and to develop innovative solutions.

The platforms created by the Robocup are crucial for the further development of robotics, and the engagement of the Offenburg University of Applied Sciences in this area shows that it is on the way to the technology leadership. The impressive performance of Magma will certainly inspire future generations of students to get involved in the area of robotics and related disciplines.
