abstract = "In the RoboCup97 robot soccer tournament, we entered a team of softbot programs whose player strategies had been entirely learned by computer. Our team beat other human-coded competitors and received the RoboCup97 Scientific Challenge award. This paper discusses our approach, and details various ways that, in retrospect, it could have been improved.",

notes = "Invited Article. This short invited paper was meant to complement the more complete GP98 and RoboCup97 papers, and an AI Magazine sidebar, by discussing things that could have been improved from our previous attempt.",
