[robocup-humanoid] Best Humanoid Award

[Norbert Michael Mayer]

Hi,
I agree with Jackie and I think that in principle we should stay with 
the present approach --but change of course the weight of the 
competitions. Too much voting is not a good idea in the case of the Best 
Humanoid award. It is the biggest award and has some meaning. The voting 
has been introduced only to decide if the best humanoid is the best 
TeenSize or the best KidSize robot (team) - because there is no better 
way to compare performance between the 2 size classes.

As I understand the situation in the legged league, the voting is used 
to find a winner for a minor competition. This is OK. But if we start 
voting just on the basis of like or dislike for the biggest cup we are 
going to have much more dicussions after each Robocup, in fact it might 
hurt our credibility.

What we have to do of course is: We adjust the mixing of the credits to 
the felt challenges and more emotional competitions: that is now to give 
more weight to the 3-3 games and much less to the technical challenge.
