I think if the rule in last year had allowed it (not matter what it is) 
and the corersponding rule had not changed it is obviously allowed this 
year also.

Perhaps we are not talking exactly about the same.
My concrete point is:
We are using (almost) the same robot design in 2007 which we used in 2006
and which was allowed in 2006 (with a camera in the chest and a camera 
in the head).
The corresponding wording in the rule had also not changed.

To me it seems that you want to ban the use of our chest camera now.
In principle we can put our chest camera as well in the head
but this needs some time for hardware modification.
Such a request at this time would be higly unfair
to any team which has already prepared their robots and software for 
the qualification under the above mentioned conditions.

As I remember your robot had been using omnivision in 2006 which is much 
less human like than a directed camera in the chest as our robot never can 
see a ball in the back of it and must plan to search for the ball
by coordinating vision and locomotion. This needs time
and complex algorithms to do it efficiently. Therefore, more human 
like directed vision is a significant disadvantage to super human 
omnivision.

Thank you very much for your understanding.
With best regards,
Oskar

Hi,

I understand the concerns of Chew Chee and others.

However, when interpreting the rules you must follow the letter of the law
rather than the spirit as I am most painfully aware after last year's final
match.

Given the fact that the rule states "should" and the interpretation of
should as "is highly encouraged but NOT mandatory" is consistent with other
uses of "should" in the rules, I think the robot design that Team Osaka
showed in the image is legal for 2007.

CU,
   Jacky

Hi all,
	I'm the coordinator of the Humanoid League of Tsinghua Hrimthurs and
it's reported that every team of pre-registration should have received an
e-mail of notification yet unfortunately it seems I have not.
	Would you please to give all the teams an entire list of the teams
of pre-registration where we could re-confirm it?
	Thanks a lot :)

Dear Chew Chee, Dear Changjiu, Dear Teams,

1. 
You are absolutely right. No rule should be based on "twisting of English".
If there is uncertainty in the formulation it must be clarified.
This should idealy happen in the time frame which had been set for rule 
discussions. 

2.
The rule now in question is 4.3. 

The wording in the rule draft for 2007 is **exactly** the same
as in the rules used for 2006 when it was allowed
to our team to use a camera in the robot's chest as we did
in RoboCup 2006. It was also allowed to use omnivision camera
or two cameras (one looking forwad and one looking backward in the 
head) as it was done by other teams in RoboCup 2006.

At this time, it is impossible that there can be any changes in
the rules for robot design or their interpretation.
All teams have worked on their robots and submitted
qualification material.

However, a discussion about future changes in robot design
(especially for 2008) should be initiated on the mailing list 
before July. Then we will be better prepared for
future rule discussions and votings on the last day of RoboCup 2007
(when there is usually only too little time for that).

With best regards,
Oskar von Stryk

Dear Oskar

Our main point is that if we want to put it down explicitly in the rule,
it should be enforced.  Otherwise, each team will start to breach the
rule and expect the organiser to waive it.  Also, other teams may use
the same case to justify their breach of rules, e.g. claiming that XX
team also did it last year.  And we think it is unfair to teams who
abide by the rules.  Any request to change the rule should be done
before the deadline for rule change unless no team is against it.

It is impossible to change the rule (interpretation) for robot design from 
now.
We will have a discussion about the robot design (for future) on the day of 
Robocup 2007.

Our idea about putting the camera in the chest is just,
We don't want to develop the long head ugly robot like Alien.
We have never created the robot that someone deems ugly.
So We don't want again this year.

I attach the image file.
 As you see, we have no other merit,
Insted of putting the camera in the long flattened head,
Putting in the chest part makes the robot  good-looking..

Thank you very much.

Sincerely yours,
 Naoki Shibatani (TeamOSAKA)

Hi,

I would suggest that the TC adds a clarifying sentence to the rules now, so
that the next TC is more aware of how the rules were interpreted in the
past. This sentence must not change the current interpretation (I did not
say "should" ;-)

I would also suggest to exclude the word "should" from next year's version
of the rules. Either we accept something or we don't. This is a competition,
and teams will stretch the rules as much as it is possible if it helps them
to win (as we have seen during the step-field challenge last year). That's
ok, I guess. Long term goals (i.e. on a longer time-scale than to the next
RoboCup) may be formulated in a preamble, but not in the actual rules.

BTW: why are cameras and microphones called "distance sensors"? I would call
time-of-flight sensors such as laser scanners or sonars "distance sensors",
because that's what the measure.

I think the term that is meant is "external sensors".

Best regards
