CMDragons 2008 Team Description

In this paper we present an overview of CMDragons 2008, Carnegie Mellon's entry for the RoboCup Small-Size League. Our team builds upon the research and success of RoboCup entries in previous years. Technical improvements for 2008 include a new physics-based sim- ulator, as well as an experimental role-recognition approach based on feature selection.
