Evaluation of the Performance of CS Freiburg 1999 and CS Freiburg 2000

One of the questions one may ask when following research in robotic soccer is whether there is a measurable progress over the years in the robotic leagues. While everybody who has followed the games from 1997 to 2000 would agree that the robotic soccer players in the F2000 league have improved their playing skills, there is no hard evidence to justify this opinion. We tried to identify a number of criteria that measure the ability to play robotic soccer and analyzed all the games CS Freiburg played at RoboCup 1999 and 2000. As it turns out, for almost all criteria, there is a statistically significant increase for CS Freiburg and the opponent teams demonstrating that the level of play has indeed increased from 1999 to 2000.
