What if he lies flat on the ground covering the whole goal? :-)

Does this mean that it will be possible to read the true robots/ball
positions at the competition? Some teams may have already implemented
localization software...

Will there be machines available (say from 29 June) for the teams to develop
and test code? Working out the final details of the code in Atlanta would be
the easiest way to ensure that there are no deviations in hardware/software.
Besides, some people may not be able to bring along a laptop with the
required specifications, so having access to such a machine (say 24/7) will
be very helpful. Please let us know.

thanks
Nikos
