ROBOT SOCCER Worldcups :
In the past Germany won the final against the U.S.A.
(later - in a second tournament - Germany has won against Great Britain but lost against Austria)
In the 2002 'RoboCup' in Japan the final of the smaller soccer-robots was won by the U.S.A.
and the final of the largest soccer-robots was won by Japan itself.
(the robots had to be computer-controlled - no external human steering was allowed)
The 2006 'RoboCup' in Northern Germany is marked by several categories of robots hunting the ball:
Japanese toy dogs, humanoid constructions and the classic wheel driven devices (see JavaTM applet below)
