MSL Rulebook Update - Ambition Challenge
by Olthuis, Jorrit 30 Jan '23

30 Jan '23

Dear MSL teams, The Technical Committee has added the Ambition Challenge to the rulebook. This challenge uses a simplified set of rules and allows new teams to play matches at RoboCup, even before their robots satisfy the complete set of MSL rules. Version 24.1 of the rules, including the Ambition Challenge, can be found at https://msl.robocup.org/rules. Teams that wish to participate in this challenge at RoboCup 2023 are kindly requested to indicate their interest at the time of qualification. Teams that participate in the Ambition Challenge, and not in the regular competition, are only required to submit a Team Description Paper and Qualification Video in order to qualify. Best regards, On behalf of the MSL Technical Committee, Jorrit Olthuis
