The goalie is controlled by http://jaer.wiki.sourceforge.net and all the code is open sourced in the package [[http://jaer.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/jaer/trunk/host/java/src/ch/unizh/ini/tobi/goalie/|ch.ini.unizh.tobi.goalie]]. By using spikes events instead of conventional frames, this goalie achieves **a reaction latency of <3 ms and the equivalent of 550 FPS (frames per second) at a peak CPU load of <4%**. * [[http://www.ini.uzh.ch/~tobi/papers/delbruckISCAS2007Goalie.pdf|Download the paper about the first version of the goalie (not self calibrating)]] Delbruck, T. and P.
