Abstract
This work presents a soccer robot for the FIRA MiroSot league based on a DSP design instead of the more common microcontroller design to provide more flexibility in the use of the robot. The robot's mechanical and electronical design will be presented along with an overview on its control methods and software. Two additions to the robot - an on-board camera module and a 2.4 GHz radio module - will also be reviewed.
