<title>ABSTRACT</title>
<p>It is challenging to design general robot soccer coordination behaviors that address individual states. We have successfully followed a case-based approach to define behaviors for a single soccer robot. In our multi-robot system we now distinguish <italic>retriever</italic> robots that access the case library, reason about the situation, and select the most appropriate cases. They communicate with the other robots and they all execute the retrieved case in a coordinated way. We evaluate our approach with two robots demonstrating that the robots successfully coordinate and the number of passes during a game highly increases compared to an approach with an implicit coordination mechanism.</p>
