[robocup-humanoid] Rule Discussion for 2012

[Roberto Carlos Ramirez Márquez]

Dear HL Teams,
dear Technical Committee,

about the proposed issues to be worked out, specifically:

* refine definition of arm length to fix a loop-hole in the rules, where
  a robot without a shoulder joint in the frontal plane can have extremely
 long under arms.

my team have prepared the rule's modification shown in the attached file to
be discussed.


and we also encourage to include a rule for:

* only human-like motions are allowed for the robots


Regards.

> The summary of proposed rule changes is divided into three parts:

> Part 1: rules already decided in Istanbul (in the team leader meeting)
> Part 2: rules decided in principle where detailed wording of the rules
>        is still under discussion.
> Part 3: rules that are still undecided issues and other open issues.
>
> Our goal is to finalize the rules by end of this year.

>  ficant overlap in the coverage of the two lenses.
> * modify game controller to count up (not down) and have the referee decide

>  to finish current play)
> * TeenSize
>  * Decrease minimum height of teen size robots to 90 centimeters
>  * ball for Teen Size: FIFA size 3, at least 50% orange
