The E-league is a new Entry-level league for RoboCup Soccer. By focusing on high level issues, it provides an entry-point for new teams that do not have the experience or resources to participate at the level of the Small-Size (SSL), Mid-Size or Legged leagues. The E-League setup is a simplified version of the SSL and includes common vision software, common command transmission (via IR), and some restrictions on the complexity of the robots. Originally demonstrated at RoboCup 2003 in Padova as the "U-League", the E-League will take its place as the newest RoboCup league in 2004 in Lisbon.
