Canonical ID: `d24296e8-e187-4127-9095-b9f68d028096`

China Agricultural University (CAU)'s Mountain & Sea (山海) team deployed Booster T1 humanoid robots to reach the final of the AdultSize category at RoboCup 2025, Salvador, Brazil, July 17-21, 2025, finishing as runner-up (second place). Both finalists, CAU's Mountain & Sea and Tsinghua University's Hephaestus, used Booster T1 robots, making this the first RoboCup AdultSize final to feature two Chinese teams and the first where a Chinese team placed in either the champion or runner-up positions.

The final score was Tsinghua Hephaestus 5:3 vs CAU Mountain & Sea. CAU's performance represented a historic breakthrough for Chinese robotics teams in humanoid soccer competition, marking the culmination of significant investment and development in domestic humanoid research platforms.

Booster Robotics (Beijing), maker of the T1, cited the 1-2 sweep as validation of the platform's design for competitive humanoid locomotion.
