[robocup-humanoid] [7] Rule Suggestion: Technical Challenges II

[Jörg Zimmer]

That's the way challenges were done in SPL. But I am not saying that SPL is doing everything better than HL. But if they do it, it is possible to us too - schedule and administration won't be the problem. Both solutions have their advantage.

1) The current time slots give the freedom to the teams to decide how much time to spend on each challenge or the concentrate maybe just on one single challenge. All participants know that having a time slot 2 hours later might decide whether you finish a challenge or not.

2) If we schedule e.g. Challenge I: 9 AM, Challenge II: 11 AM, Challenge III: 1 PM and give 10 minutes* to each team on each challenge, we might have less freedom but more fairness. If a team has a stable program on one challenge but participates in all three challenges, it won't be beaten by a team spending the whole time slot on one challenge not running stable.

*exact time per challenge can be defined in specific challenge rules.


I guess we need a vote here because we will find enough arguments for both variants.

Hi,

this suggestion is more regarding the administration of the challenge
day.
Maybe there would be more excitement for teams and audience if all
teams would begin with the same challenge. And the next one is started
when every team had their chance to solve the previous one.

This would reduce the problem of teams scheduled later in the day
having more time to prepare, also it would allow for easier comparison
between teams for the audience.
