In this paper we introduce the newly formed New Zealand based RoboCup Humanoid Kid-Size team, Electric Sheep. We describe our developed humanoid robot platform, particularly our unique take on the chassis, electronics and use of several motor types to create a low-cost entry platform. To support this hardware, we discuss our software framework, vision processing, walking and game-play strategy methodology. Lastly we give an overview of future research interests within the team and intentions of future contributions for the league and the goal of RoboCup.
