The paper by Marcell Missura and Sven Behnke: "Balanced Walking with Capture Steps" won the Best Science Paper Award at he 18th RoboCup International Symposium, Joao Pessoa, Brasil.

In the final, our robots Copedo and Dynaped met team Baset from Iran. Copedo played goalie and Dynaped, which had a new capture step feature enabled, was a field player. When struggling for the ball, robots of both sides often went down. Dynaped is not equipped to get up and had to be taken out, In these situations, the Baset robots, which got up quickly, scored. After 5:0 at half time, the game ended 8:4 for Baset.

Our robots played two more round robin games. First, they met team FUB-KIT, a joint team from Freie Universität Berlin and Kyushu Institute of Technology. Their lightweight robots were equipped with an innovative cable-driven mechanism, which allows to place all actuators in the hip. Copedo scored reliably, having only some problems to see the semi-transparent FUB-KIT robots. After 4:0 at half time, the game ended 6:0 for NimbRo. The second game was vs. team AcYut from India who reliably went to the ball. The game ended 5:0 for NimbRo (after 2:0 at half time). This makes NimbRo first of the round robin with 12:0 points and 20:1 goals.

Our team NimbRo TeenSize participates in the Humanoid League competitions of RoboCup 2013 in Eindhoven, Netherlands.
This year, both goals have the same color and visual landmarks on the sideline of the field have been removed. This makes localization on the field harder.

In the first round robin game, our robots Dynaped and Cosero met CIT-Brains from Japan. The Japanese team seems to be the strongest competitor in the TeenSize class. Both teams played well, went quickly to the ball and could kick hard. The NimbRo robots were more stable and had advantages in one vs. one fights. Consequently, they won the game 4:1 after 2:0 score at half time. 
In the second game, our robots met team SIOR from Korea. In this game, our new NimbRo-OP robot entered the tournament and scored its first official goal. With the help of Dynaped, the game ended 7:0 for NimbRo (after 4:0 at half time).

Our team NimbRo won the TeenSize soccer competition,  technical challenge, and received the Louis Vuitton Best Humanoid Award.

In the final, our robots met the team CIT Brains from Japan. Both teams already played the final 2010 in Singapore. It was a very exciting game where both teams played with two capable field players and no goalie. In the first half, the NimbRo robots were not going for the ball enough. The game was open, which is reflected by the score of 2:2 at half time. After a programming adjustment during the break, the NimbRo robots Copedo and Dynaped had an advantage in the second half. They scored four more goals while the Japanese robots scored only once. The game ended 6:3 for NimbRo. After the competition, our robots were elected for the Louis Vuitton Best Humanoid Award by the 30 team leaders of the entire Humanoid League.

Our soccer robots did the Technical Challenges very well. Dynaped learned a new ball and dribbled it through six obstacles and into the goal. Copedo picked up a ball outside the field and threw it in, across the entire field. Both robots passed the ball four times back and forth between obstacles and scored at the end of the Double-pass Challenge. Together, this gave a perfect score of 30 points for the Technical Challenges.
In the semi-final, our robots met again team SHAYAN. The Iranian team improved there robot a lot, such that frequently two opponents were at the ball. After clearing these situations, our robots Dynaped (first half) and Copedo (second) half scored reliably. The game ended 6:0 for NimbRo after 3:0 at half time.
In the evening, a 3 vs. 3 demonstration game was played. Our three robots played vs. robots of the three other teams.

In the last round robin game, our robots met team DARwIn-XOS from USA. Both teams played with only one robot -- we used Dynaped in the first half and Copedo in the second half. Because there were some interruptions our robots scored only nine goals. With 9:0 points and 23:0 goals, NimbRo wins the round robin.

In the first round robin game, our robots met the team SHAYRAN from Iran. After some diffuculties that our robots had in the first half, Dypaped scored reliably in the second half and the game ended early 10:0 for NimbRo.
In the afternoon, our robots met the team CIT Brains from Japan in the second round robin game. Both teams had technical difficulties with their robots. While the japanese field player quickly approached the ball and also kicked it towards our goal, the NimbrRo robots still had an advantage. After 3:0 at half time, the game ended 4:0 for NimbRo.
