The UT Austin Villa team, from the University of Texas at Austin, won the 2016 RoboCup 3D Simulation League, winning all 14 games that the team played. During the course of the competition the team scored 88 goals and conceded only 1. Additionally the team won the RoboCup 3D Simulation League technical challenge by winning each of a series of three league challenges: free, keepaway, and Gazebo running challenge. This paper describes the changes and improvements made to the team between 2015 and 2016 that allowed it to win both the main competition and each of the league technical challenges.
