[robocup-nao] Question about goalie and game stuck

[Somchaya Liemhetcharat]

Hi,

If the ball is between the goalie and the attacker, the attacker is allowed
to "fight" for the ball (see section 4.9.3). If the ball is in front of the
goalie, but not within its convex hull so it cannot be called for ball
holding, then the attacker should be able to kick the ball without much
problems (with regards to pushing).

Furthermore, if the goalie is not blocking the view of the ball (e.g., the
ball is in front of the goalie, and the goalie is in front of the goal),
even if the goalie is not actively clearing the ball, it should not be a
game-stuck situation; I would argue that the goalie is doing a good job at
preventing a goal from being scored, and the onus is on the offensive team
to score the goal while the defensive team cannot interfere (and the goalie
is effectively an obstacle to go around).

Thanks,
Somchaya
