[robocup-nao] SPL technical challenges for 2011

[Bernhard Hengst]

Hi Tekin,

Here is another suggestion submitted by one of team members - Jayen Ashar - as an alternative to No1 below.

> For the passing challenge, I don't think the second robot should be
> required to catch the ball.  I think I might recommend more of an "assist
> challenge" where there's a bunch of robots on the field blocking the goal,
> like the dribble challenge, but the offensive team gets two robots, one
> with the ball, away from the goal, and one without the ball, just coming
> back from a penalty.  It's advantageous to the team to pass, but I don't
> think it should be required.

Regards,
Bernhard
