Abstract
In order to pursue the vision of the RoboCup Humanoid League of beating the soccer world champion by 2050, new rules and competitions are added or modified each year fostering novel technological advances. In 2017, the number of players in the TeenSize class soccer games was increase to 3 vs. 3, which allowed for more team play strategies. Improvements in individual skills were also demanded through a set of technical challenges. This paper presents the latest individual skills and team play developments used in RoboCup 2017 that lead our team Nimbro winning the 2017 TeenSize soccer tournament, the technical challenges, and the drop-in games.
