Hi,

Suggestion: Increasing clear view of field for audience

This one isn't really a technical problem. Many people are involved in a
match and normally everyone is standing.
2 referees
2 robot handlers
2 team leaders

For people watching or filming the match, it's nearly impossible to find
a good spot because everyone is standing and therefore blocks the view
(and sometimes even the poles, which can have devastating effects on the
self-localization of the robots).

So here it would help when teamleaders had to stay behind their desks,
one referee is also sitting behind the desk (for game controller
administration) and only one referee and the two robot handlers are on
(or next to) the field.
The robot handlers should kneel like a ball-boy in a tennis game until a
referee allows a robot handler intervention.

We think that these small changes could get a smoother game
procedure, with less hecticness.
