RoboCup SPL 2014 Champion Team Paper

Winning the Robocup SPL World Championship is not accomplished in just one year, nor is it just a matter of writing effective software. Our success can also be attributed to the accumulation of experience since 1999, strong institutional support, and dedicated collaborative teamwork. This paper summarises the key contributing innovations from the time the software was rewritten in 2010, and provides some insight into team organisation. In this paper it is not possible to cover all aspects and intricacies of the complex systems comprising the rUNSWift software. We have therefore included an extensive list of references to our technical reports that provide detailed accounts of the research, algorithms and results over the last 5 years. All the reports are available on one website for easy access and make reference to many external publications, including those from other teams in our league.
