The UT Austin Villa RoboCup 2003 Four-Legged Team was a new entry in the ongoing series of RoboCup legged league competitions. The team development began in mid-January of 2003, at which time none of the team members had any familiarity with the Aibos. Without using any RoboCup-related code from other teams, we entered a team in the American Open competition at the end of April, and met with some success at the annual RoboCup competition that took place in Padova, Italy at the beginning of July. In this paper, we describe aspects of (i) our development process and (ii) the technical details of its end result, the UT Austin Villa team. Complete details in both regards are available in our team technical report.
