[robocup-humanoid] rules for 2009?

[Oskar von Stryk]

Dear Masaki Ogino,

The HL TC members are currently preparing the rule draft which has been 
discussed during the last weeks. It will probably be posted not later
than end of December.

There will be NO changes in the size of field, runoff area, goal area, 
penalty area, center circle, line width, penalty mark position.

Small changes to the field layout are:

- The 6 throw-in marks will be removed.

- The height of the colored backplate of the goals will be reduced
         in TeenSize to 60cm and in KidSize to 40cm.

The orange tennis ball used in 2008 will be used also in 2009.

The major change is in lighting which is changed to indoor lighting
(presuming a sufficient bright (600 - 1200 lux) and constant lighting on
the field (i.e. no daylight).
This was already discussed in the team leader meeting in Suzhou
and supported by the large majority of team leaders.

This change will significantly reduce the cost for one field.

For the reason of significantly dropped cost of one field
the TC strongly recommends the organizers of local RoboCup 
competitions to provide more fields to the participating teams.

If you need any further information please let us know.
There is also a dedicated mailing list for the HL's TC and OC 
members. Please see

With best regards,
Oskar von Stryk
