<br>
<br>
I'm Mohammad Mahdi Rahimi (AKA Mahi) wants to be a candidate for next year Technical Community, here are a few details about me and my motivations. <br>
<br>
<br>
I've been participated at Robocup since 2014 and currently leading the Parsian team, I'm the maintainer of Grsim project from 2016 and very enthusiastic for any open-source project.<br>
<br>
<br>
Motivations:<br>
<br>
<br>
1. I will be TC for next Asia-pacifIran opeIran open competition that both will hold in Iran and it's good opportunity to test changes and get feedback as a TC for new rules or details.<br>
<br>
<br>
2. I believe we can make the league a way more autonomous by having an open-source official Referee application that also listens to teams computers for a lot of purpose like: <br>
<br>
a. Request the change of the damaged robot to help auto-interchange progress<br>
<br>
b. Request for timeouts.<br>
<br>
c. Request to check the vision problem with evidence(positions that it lost the robot)<br>
<br>
etc.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
3. Bold Machine learning and Data Science aspect of the league<br>
<br>
As this area of science is growing so fast and analysing a soccer match contains a lot of aspects, I think we can focus to this kind of problems and define some technical challenges like the commentary of a game or log analysing and create a valuable report.<br>
<br>
<br>
4. One of the major obstacles for teams to work on SSL is the cost of robots and environment setup, the participation to competitions itself cos a lot if we expending field and increasing number of cameras and robots we make it very hard for a team to participate,e. Also, money and large laboratory space be a great advantage for teams and ileal lead to fade the scientific part of the league.<br>
<br>
Also when the league is expensive, less team can participate and it's going to be like the middle size league, few teams participate and lack of innovation. In one hand we need to make more challenges and make league close to a real soccer game and in the other hand we should keep this league at a reasonable cost, one of the options is to have join-teams, so far we should encourage the team to play mix-team challenge and also have well-defined communication messages. Imagine my good message definition and methodology we can have an 8vs8 match involve 16 teams, one robot from each team.<br>
<br>
<br>
(Last but not least)<br>
<br>
5. The scheduling and tournaments methodology: firstly I think dividing team to two different division with different rules just appreciate the gap between teams of both division and it makes it harder for division B team to play with division A in future, simply because they don't have any experience of the rules that division A's team collected this year. I believe we should help the team from lower division to get close the team with higher division, knowledge could be shared by encouraging teams for better TDPs, presentation and open-source project also we can have some discussion section beside them, each year on just one specific topic, and experience could achieve by playing more games so we should make a scheduling that contains more matches and also keeps the test time long enough. This obviously means that we need more fields, or we set up some simulation server for teams that are okay with play friendly match in simulation, I working on it to run Grsim completely autonomous with help of auto-refs and improve robot's dribblers for curve kick and auto ball placement. (As you know we can just put the ball in dedicated point so the auto ball placement is not that necessary if teams want a faster match)<br>
<br>
<br>
Thank you In advance. Hope this information clear my motivations and goals.<br>
<br>
Best Regards,<br>
<br>
