[RoboCup - humanoid] Registration Confirmation
by Bodee Davis 14 May '26

14 May '26

Dear RoboCup Organizing Committee, I am Bodee Davis, a team member of WolverBot Kickers from the University of Michigan. I am emailing to inform you that despite great time, effort, and dedication from our team members and supporters, we cannot confirm we will be unable to complete a working robot prior to the start of the competition. We would love to be able to send team members to view the event and connect with and meet others in preparation for next year's event. Thank you again for all of your time and help. Best regards, Bodee Davis

RoboCup Humanoid Soccer League May Newsletter
by Sam Griffiths 13 May '26

13 May '26

Greetings Humanoid Soccer League (HSL) Teams! As we move closer to our historic debut in Incheon, South Korea, we have several critical operational updates for all qualified and participating teams. Please review these five key areas to ensure your team is ready for the pitch this June. 1. Jerseys (Extended Submission Due Date: June 1st) Per Rule 4.1, robots must maintain neutral, non-reflective bodies and wear tank top-style jerseys covering at least 50% of the upper body. These jerseys must feature a clear primary color, display unique player numbers on both the front and back, and remain easily distinguishable from the opposing team and officials. Goalkeepers must be uniquely marked, and while sponsorship logos are permitted, they must not interfere with the primary color or visibility of player numbers. Each team is required to provide two distinct solid color designs for approval; please ensure these jersey designs are submitted to the TC mailing list by the June 1st deadline. 2. The Booster Robotics Robot Pool We are excited to confirm the Booster Robotics Robot Pool for HSL 2026. This initiative supports teams that may not yet have their own full fleet of hardware. Available Models: A pool of K1 and T1 humanoid models will be provided by Booster Robotics. For teams that bring 2 K1 robots, they will be eligible to receive up to 3 robots from the pool. For teams that bring 1 T1 robot, they will be eligible to receive up to 2 robots from the pool. For more information, contact Booster Robotics directly. 3. Shipping Information Logistics planning for transporting your robots to South Korea is now underway. Visit https://2026.robocup.org/news/?q=%2Fnews%2F&mod=document&uid=5 for more information. 4. Updated Penalty Rules: Improving Game Safety and Clarity The penalty system has been restructured to better distinguish between tactical fouls and safety violations. Standard in-game infractions are now signaled with a blue card and result in a time penalty. For more serious concerns involving dangerous behavior that risks damage to the field, participants, or other robots, referees will issue yellow or red cards to specific robots. While yellow cards serve as a warning for high-risk play, a direct red card will be issued at the referee’s discretion if a collision causes actual damage or if there is a high danger of recurrence. These changes ensure a safer environment while keeping the game fluid for all teams. 5. Team Posters Every team is encouraged to bring a physical poster to the competition. Format: Preferred A3 format. A4 and similar US formats are also accepted. The poster must be containing the team’s contribution, focused on the current year, to the RoboCup event to share their contributions with the other teams. Teams are responsible for printing their own posters and bringing them to the competition. Best Regards, Sam Griffiths On behalf of the HSL Technical Committee

Assistance Needed: Registration Waiver & Team Name Change (Team Mobilio-ZETIN)
by 김민성 01 May '26

01 May '26

Dear RoboCup Organizers, Technical Committee, and fellow teams, I apologize for using the general mailing list for a registration matter, but I am writing to seek urgent assistance. I previously contacted registration(a)robocup.org regarding our CVENT registration but have not yet received a reply. With the early registration deadline (May 4th) fast approaching, I am following up here to ensure we can complete our process on time. My name is Min-seong Kim, the Team Leader representing the University of Seoul in the Humanoid Soccer League (Large Division). We have two pending administrative issues: *1. First-Time Attendee Waiver (Urgent)* As a new team participating in the international RoboCup for the first time, we qualify for the team registration fee waiver. However, in our CVENT portal, the "First Time Attendees" field is currently empty ("–––"), and the system is requesting the standard team registration fee. *2. Team Name Change* We also requested to officially change our registered team name from "ZETIN" to *"Mobilio-ZETIN"*. We are ready to complete our registration and payment, but we are holding off until the waiver is properly applied to our CVENT account. Could anyone from the organizing committee please advise us on how to proceed or help update our status before the May 4th deadline? Thank you very much for your understanding and assistance. Best regards, Min-seong Kim Team Leader, Mobilio-ZETIN University of Seoul

Inquiry Regarding Partial Team Registration for RoboCup
by hong li 30 Apr '26

30 Apr '26

Dear RoboCup Organizing Committee, I hope this message finds you well. We are currently preparing our team registration for the upcoming RoboCup competition. However, we have encountered a practical issue: several of our team members’ passports have recently expired and are currently under expedited renewal. Given the time constraints, we would like to ask whether it is possible to proceed with the registration using only the members whose passports are currently valid, and then update or add the remaining members once their new passports are issued. We would greatly appreciate your guidance on whether this arrangement is acceptable, and if there are any specific procedures we should follow to ensure compliance with registration requirements. Thank you very much for your understanding and support. Best regards, lihong, BigHeroX

Re: schedule and registration details
by Reinaldo A. C. Bianchi 22 Apr '26

22 Apr '26

Dear Mingyu, Schedule is finalized by the local organization, usually closer to the competition. What I can say is that USUALLY we have two days of warm up and four days of competition. This would be warm up on 30th of June and 1st of July, and competition from 2nd to July 5th. The symposium will be on July 6th. The picking up of your badges and other material you receive after registration is on the first day of the warmup, June 30th. I did not understand the on site registration question. On site registration is not for teams, and is only to add extra members on a team. I don’t think is anything your team will have to do. If you have any more questions feel free to contact us again.

Inquiry Regarding Exact AdultSize Field and Goal Dimensions for the Upcoming Competition – Wuhan University Robotics Team
by 邓茵姬 09 Apr '26

09 Apr '26

Dear Humanoid League Technical Committee and RoboCup Organizing Committee, We hope this email finds you well. We are the robotics team from Wuhan University in China, and we are currently making active preparations for the upcoming RoboCup competition. While carefully reviewing the official rulebook, we noticed that the dimensions for the L-Field (Large Field) and the corresponding Large Goals are provided as allowed ranges rather than exact fixed values. Specifically: L-Field Size: Length (14 to 22 meters) and Width (9 to 14 meters). Large Goal Dimensions: Depth (1.0 to 2.0 meters), Width (2.6 to 3.1 meters), and Height (1.8 to 2.0 meters). In order to optimize our robots' calibration and ensure that our training environment simulates the actual competition scenarios as closely as possible, we would respectfully like to inquire about the exact dimensions that will be used in the official matches this year. If the specific setup has not yet been finalized, any preliminary guidance or information on the most likely configuration would be immensely helpful to our preparation. Thank you very much for your time, hard work, and continuous support for all participating teams. We look forward to your kind reply. Sincerely, Robotics Team of Wuhan University, China
