[robocup-humanoid] RoboCup 2010: game controller & numbering of robts

[Oskar von Stryk]

Dear HL Teams,

Game Controller & Robot Numbers
-------------------------------
Please note that according to the discussion in today's referee training
including training on the referee box/game controller
some adaptations needed to be made to the software.
It is the responsibility of the assistant referee to operate the RB/GC.

The GC has now been updated accordingly on SourceForge and on all HL field 
laptops.

All teams must ensure that before a match begins every robot
(max. 3 field players + max. 2 substitutions) 
must have a unique number from 1 to 5.

This number must be clearly visible by the referees.
The referees must check this also one hour before the game.

The referee then must refer to a robot during a game by its number,
e.g. "robot cyan no. 4".


Physical Contact with Goal Keeper
---------------------------------
As in previous years §12.2, (2) touching the goal keeper
inside the goal area is considered an obstruction which
will be penalized by a 30s removal penalty to the striker.


Time Removal Penalty
--------------------
Correction to $12.4.7, (1), time penalties
of 30s are applied to all players including the goalie.

This is to simplify the rules and to avoid an inconsistency
which would allow a team with a goal keeper incapable
of getting up inside of the goal area
to return to play sooner if they wait for 15s for an official
penalty rather than requesting an immediate pick-up .


Good night and good luck for tomorrow!
