Stands for video recording cameras in the Humanoid Soccer League
Dear Local Organizing Committee,
Thank you very much for all your efforts in making RoboCup 2026 a success! I am writing to you as a member of the Technical Committee of the Humanoid Soccer League with a few questions regarding the pitch layout. Background: We are preparing cameras to record all matches on the 12 pitches and to provide a live YouTube stream for each pitch. These cameras must be mounted at the side of the pitch at a height of 2.5 to 3 m. For this we have specified in the HSL requirements document one ‘lighting pole/mast + base (approx. 2.5 m high, 30–35 mm in diameter)’ per pitch.
Question 1: We would like to ensure that these lighting poles are actually in place, one per pitch, i.e. a total of 12 lighting poles. Can you confirm that these masts are in place or will be in place?
Question 2: We have heard that there will be nets to separate the playing fields from one another. Given the force with which the new robots can shoot a ball, it may also be necessary to protect our cameras. Could you send us some images of the venue set-up (if already available)? We would like to know whether and how we can protect our cameras from being struck by high-speed balls.
Thank you very much and best regards, Thomas
Dear Thomas,
Thank you for your email.
Regarding the lighting poles, could you please clarify whether you are referring to camera mounting stands? If so, we would like to confirm whether providing one stand per pitch with a height of approximately 2.5 m would satisfy your requirements.
Our main concern is the network connection. Due to the bandwidth already allocated for competition operations and team networks, the venue is unable to provide additional internet capacity for livestreaming. Therefore, we kindly ask that your streaming setup use its own LTE/mobile network connection or other independent internet solution, as internet access for the livestream cannot be provided by the venue.
Regarding the protective nets between pitches, these are currently planned only around the M-field area. Please refer to the illustration below for details.
