Rule Updates & Timeline
Topics for update
Open points from the rule discussion during last RoboCup:
* Reduction of the handlers interventions
* Update of the technical challenges
* Adding a part that requires teams to clearly announce usage of code and hardware from other teams (take SPL as an example and adapt)
“Merge” of the physical and virtual rule book - someone needs to go and identify the critial parts that cannot be taken back to the main rule book
* If we want to use only one rule book, how should that look like to not make it too confusing?
* footnotes for specific values for autoreferee
* Maike will look through it
From the last rule voting
* Duration of Knock-out games should not be extended
* Rules regarding Wifi Quality should take effect in 2021
* no discussion only wording
Anything else? – not that we know of
Meeting Minutes on the Forum
We used to have a shortened version of our meeting minutes on the forum - who can take responsibility for that?
Alessandra takes care
