[robocup-humanoid] ?: One question about the position ofImagesensor.

[Thomas Röfer]

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
