2004 - coconut Rugby

This year, robots are gathering on a tropical island. Inhabitants of the island, wearing Hawaiian shirts and flowered collars, challenge the robots for a “ Coconut Rugby ”.
The aim of the game is to collect coconuts and to bring them in the opponent’s in-goal (score a try) or to throw them between the two opponent’s coconut trees (drop goal)
Natives will be particularly sensitive to the behaviour of the participants : fair-play, mutual aid, good mood…On “Coconut Island”, the most important thing is to have fun, exchange, learn and practice robotics : competition is only a foreground.

8 countries have organized national qualifications (Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Serbia&Montenegro, Spain and Switzerland).

41 teams coming from 21 countries participated to Eurobot 2004 Final.
