[robocup-humanoid] audience view / Re: [8] Rule Suggestion: Robothandler

[Oskar von Stryk]

Hi Steffen,

The problem of viewing abilities to the playing field is
a problem of organization (not of the rules).

It is a "standard" problem at RoboCup competitions which
is difficult to realized because it requires permanently
to remind audience and participants to get down
and not to stand up etc.

I am CC'ing general chair (Jacky) and local chair (Carlos)
that they are aware of this issue when preparing the local
arrangements also.

The view is generally better the farther away any people have to stay
from the playing field (i.e. making the restricted field zone
around the field(s) for (quarter/semi) finals as large as possible.

With best regards,
Oskar von Stryk
