RoboCup2025 took place from 15-21 July in Salvador, Brazil. The event saw around 3000 participants competing in the various leagues. In our first social media round-up post we saw what the teams got up to during the first couple of days of the event. In this second post, we take a look at the action from the final days when the competitions reached their climax.

In the #RoboCup2025 @Home OPL Final, our robot performed very well. It opened two doors, removed trash, and closed a cabinet door. Overall, NimbRo came in second, next to team Tidyboy (Korea).
