[robocup-msrs] Advantage for the red team

[Zemat]

Hi,

Maybe it's too late but would it be possible to change the red team color to
other than red. This is because as it stands now some image segmentation
algorithms that use colors to identify the ball could confuse the red team's
dog heads for the ball. This could generate a condition of unfairness
because, even if the two teams use the same segmentation algorithm, the blue
team will have a harder time distinguishing the ball from the other two
players while the red team just could confuse the ball with one player (the
teammate).

This is not much of a problem for us since we use the shape along with the
color to distinguish the ball. But there are the odd situations where the
robudogs' heads also appear to have the shape of a sphere and the robot
looses some seconds resolving the ambiguity.

Maybe it sounds as not much of a problem but this could imply that the game
results could be biased in favor of the teams that play red on the long run.

Regads,
Juan B. Tamez
