The UT Austin Villa Four-Legged Team for RoboCup 2004 was a second-time entry in the ongoing series of RoboCup legged league competitions. The team development began in mid-January of 2003 without any prior familiarity with the Aibos. After entering a fairly non-competitive team in RoboCup 2003, the team made several important advances. By the July 2004 competition place in Lisbon, Portugal, it was one of the top few teams. In this report, we describe both our development process and the technical details of its end result. In conjunction with our previous technical report this paper provides full documentation of the algorithms behind our approach with the goal of making them fully replicable.
