During RoboCup Eindhoven 2024 the following additional technical challenge was proposed.
Add a technical challenge for a “long stride”
In this challenge the robot must “step over” a measured distance on the ground.
Procedure:
- A length of string is placed on the ground at a known distance from the center line of the field.
- The robot is placed on the center line side of the region defined by the string and the center line.
- The robot steps over the region from the center line to the far side of the string.
- Pass/Fail criteria:
- Success: The robot steps over the distance without touching the string or the center line.
- Partial Success: The robot steps over the distance but touches the string or the center line.
- Fail: The robot steps within the boundary of the string or the center line.
Scoring:
The distance of the step is measured and divided by the length of the robot’s leg to give a normalized score.
