CoSpace Rescue

CoSpace is also one of the RobocupJunior leagues where there isn't an actual field in the competition. The competition is held in an environment simulated by a computer. In this league, the teams are supposed to program a robot (which will be uploaded to the simulation) to do some given tasks, and will get points by completing them. The team with the higher number of points wins.

Soccer Open

Soccer Open is another one of the RoboCupJunior Soccer subleagues. It differs from Lightweight, by the size and weight of the robots. In Lightweight the robots usually don't have a shooting mechanism because of the weight limit. Another difference is the ball, which in the Lightweight league, it transmits infrared light but in the Open league, it's only a solid plastic orange ball and the robots have to do image processing to locate it.
