The robot footballers hoping for a cup win

Meet the UK's robo-footie team who've been training hard for this year's RoboCup World Championships.

The robots were built by a team at the University of Hertfordshire, and put in a cracking performance last year by grabbing second place in Brazil.

Each robot is programmed with around 50,000 different lines of code to help them to know what to do.

The RoboCup is an annual football competition, which first started in 1997.

Around 500 teams from more than 45 countries will take part in this year's contest, which kicks off in China on 19 July.

Super-rare Nintendo game on sale

An extremely rare Nintendo game is expected to sell for over £3,000 in an online auction.

The cartridge is called Nintendo World Championships and features short versions of three games - Super Mario, Tetris and Rad Racer.

The cartridge was never available in shops. Only 116 copies were ever made, for a gaming contest in 1990.

The game was designed for the NES console

A bid of £3,000 has already been made and experts say it's likely to fetch more.

Sadly the cartridge is in poor condition. The label has been ripped and somebody has written "Mario" on it.

In 2011 a copy of the same game sold at a charity auction for £6,600 - but it was in better condition.
