[Discussion 2024] Reducing Penalty Time

In the current RoboCup competitions, it is common for robots to be penalized (e.g., for infractions like pickups), leading to periods where only one team’s robots remain on the field. This situation not only reduces the competitive balance but also diminishes the overall excitement and engagement of the match.

I am suggesting a shorter penalty duration (eg. 10s), to allow quicker reintegration of robots, having a more interesting game being played.
