[robocup-legged] Soccer Rules 2007

[Thomas Röfer]

Hi,

finally the soccer rules of the Four-Legged League for RoboCup 2007 are
available at http://www.tzi.de/4legged.

The changes are:

- Two beacons instead of four. Pink is not used as a color anymore.

- New goals.

- Corner kick points. Points closer to the penalty area than the end of the
throw-in lines were added at which the ball is placed when the defending
team kicks the ball out over the end line.

The change that took most time to discuss and actually experiment with is
not in the rules: changing the colors of the blue uniforms and the blue
goal. It turned out that the improvement was not worth the effort required
(i.e. new uniforms), especially in possibly the last year of the AIBO-based
Four-Legged League.

Best regards

Thomas Röfer
