With less than a year of robotics training, SpelBots, the only undergraduate, all-female team to win a coveted spot in the International RoboCup competition, journeyed to Osaka, Japan, to compete against some of the best scientific and technical institutions in the world. Students Aryen Moore-Alston, Brandy Kinlaw, Ebony Smith, Karina Liles, Ebony O'Neal and Shinese Noble were welcomed into the international robotics research community, and earned the respect of many of the graduate students who have studied robotics for years. The team was encouraged by the chair of next year's event in Bremen, Germany, to qualify and compete in the 2006 RoboCup. Dr. Andrew Williams, faculty adviser, recognizes the SpelBots as pioneers and role models well on their way to becoming a world-class robotics and artificial intelligence team.
