I don’t think 2) without 1) makes any sense, since the human kicker would just move a bit and then kick the ball. It would only require more skills by the human player.
Sorry Jacky, but the discussion time is passed and you explicitly required that 1) and 2) where voted separately.
Moreover, it still does require the kicking robot to move enough to ensure that the path is possible which is a change compared to what we had last year.
