[robocup-nao] SPL technical challenges for 2011

[Arne Humann]

Dear all,

We would like to propose two kinds of challenges.

1. Extended passing challenge:

One robot will be placed in a restricted area (e.g. a defined area in a 
corner or the center circle) that he is not allowed to leave. Further 
more it is not allowed to score goals. It needs to pass the ball to a 
second robot outside this area that will then shoot at the goal. Some 
robots of the opponent team will be placed on the field to make the task 
more challenging. To measure the performance of the teams a magic number 
like scored goals - balls in the off is compared.

2. Localization challenge

In this challenge both goals are of the same color. Some robots (e.g. 2 
to 3) are allowed to localize them on the field for about 30 seconds. 
After this one of them will be kidnapped and placed on a random position 
on the field. This robot now needs to localize itself with the help of 
its team mates. It needs to perform a task that proves its localization, 
e.g. walk to defined points on the field.

All the best,
B-Human
