RoboGames 2006 Wrapup 31
An anonymous reader writes "Engadget has a quick summary of much of the coverage surrounding the 2006 RoboGames. The games wrapped up today after much fire-fighting, speed-racing, and just plain robo-strutting around. The official results are still pending but it looks like the USA has a commanding lead on the medal count with Singapore and Japan filling the second and third slots."

When it was held in Stockholm, the university of Teheran won the final over an italian team in the big league. The best US team came fourth, I believe.

I didn't really bother looking at the team count for all the events but this makes sense. It actually appears that the medal count has to do more with how many teams attended from each country. It's pretty much exactly the same breakdown I saw for the same group.
