TEHRAN, Jul. 02 (MNA) – Iranian team MRL from Qazvin Islamic Azad University gained victory against American rivals from University of Florida in the first round of RoboCup Small Size Robot League on Thu.

In the first half of the match held in the German city of Leipzig on Thursday, Iranian MRL (Mechatronics Research Laboratories) team from Qazvin Islamic Azad University managed to defeat its American rivals 9-0 in a completely offensive game.
