[Discussion 2024] Add a "Long Stride" technical challenge

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.
