[robocup-small] Rule changes for 2005

[Sean Verret]

Hey Robocuppers,

Below are the following changes to the rules for 2005.  These changes
will be written shortly into the rules and made available to the
community.


Change 1:

The dribbling distance will be set at 500mm for both active and passive
dribblers.

Change 2:

For all restarts where the ball has gone out of bounds and the rules
state the ball is too be placed ON a boundary line or within 10cm of a
boundary line, the ball will be instead moved towards the middle of the
field to an imaginary line that is 10cm any of the boundary lines that
the ball is within the 10cm wall.  Needs rewording but I think it makes
sense.

Change 3:

The referee box will send a neutral restart command 10 seconds after all
restarts.

Change 4:

No more bluetooth is allowed in the small-size league, and all other RF
decisions will be left to the OC based on local conditions.

Change 5:

Corner kicks will follow with change 3.

Change 6:

The EC/OC/TC will decide upon ALL yellows, blues, greens, cyans, and
pinks allowed to be used by robots before the competition and will make
enough of these colors available at the competition for each team to
field 6 robots.

Change 7:

We will have 6 robots per team

Change 8:

The time of game will include 12 minute halfs, 5 minute half time
breaks, each team retains its color for the duration of the match and
colors are decided along with the referee 1 hour before the match.

Change 9:

There will be no chip kicks allowed during any restart.  Chip kicks (of
any height) will be allowed during all other situations.
