RoboCup 2010 - Mixed Reality Competition - CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
Singapore, June 19 to 25, 2010

    Dear all RoboCuppers,



    We have the honor to invite you to the World Championship of Mixed
Reality demonstration competition, RoboCup in Singapore.

    The Mixed Reality demonstrate bridges between simulation and real robot
leagues of the RoboCup. It is based on 2cm tall robots that operate on a
horizontally mounted display. Whilst the robots are real, the ball and the
environment are virtual. Robots are remote controlled by individual software
agents via Infrared.

    In Singapore, we will play 5 vs. 5 matches using the current official
robot of Mixed Reality Competition. See [1] for further information about
the hardware and software for this competition.

    As soon as possible, detailed rules will be announced.

    All teams - either old participants on Mixed Reality or new teams - are
welcome! If you have a Simulation team (2D or 3D) and want to verify how
your strategy works when using a real robot, Mixed Reality is a good
testbed. Even if you do not own micro-robots, you can develop your own
agents and test them using MR-Simulator. It simulates the MR real
environment and the micro-robots and you can use the same code to run with
real robots during the competitions. In Singapore, teams who own robots will
lend them to those teams who don't own robots. This is an opportunity for
new teams to join the competition. In Singapore, teams should discuss the
future of the competition and new definitions for micro-robots hardware in
the following editions of MR competition.


    Mixed Reality is part of RoboCup World Championship since Atlanta
(2007). This competition opens many research and educational opportunities.
If you are interested, we strongly suggest that you join the Mixed Reality
mailing list [2].

    All teams interested in participate in MR competitions in Singapore
should pre-register in this event, sending the following information to
marco.c.simoes at gmail.com with the subject "Pre-registration Team
