PALB III
PALB III was the third robot we built for RoboCup. We played with it in the 1on1 league at the Qualification in Magdeburg in 2007.

History
Because PALB II was really provisional we wanted to built a professional robot. So we started to design our own boards and built them on breadboards.
Hardware
Electronic:
- 1 Mainboard with ATmega32
- 1 Motor board with ATmega32
Chassis:
Dribbler:
Ball Identification:
- 8 Infrared Sensors + 1 Light barrier

Software
Also the Software should be more accurate! PALB III
followed the ball, turned with help of the compass sensor in
the right direction of the opponent's goal, got to the middle
of the field with the 3 ultrasonic distance sensors and "shot". The only problem was, that we had no kicker on PALB III. So we had to drive close to the opponents goal, which cost a lot of time and were most of the time disturbed by the opponent.
Success
We became second with PALB III on the Qualifikation in Magdeburg and were able to go to the German Open, which were on the Hannovermesse.
