Hi RoboCup TC, Thank you for writing to us At this stage, we are unable to participate in-person due to RMIT travel rules. I have been waiting on RMIT travel rules update, but can’t guarantee that by the time of the competition. At this stage, we would try to participate remotely in ta couple of the technical challenges, if possible. Regards, Timothy Dr. Timothy Wiley | Lecturer, School of Computing Technologies | RMIT University Building 14, Level 11 (City Campus) | Homepage<https://timothy-wiley.github.io> | CIAIRI<https://www.rmit.edu.au/research/centres-collaborations/centre-for-industri…> | AI Innovation Lab<http://rmit.edu.au/ailab> On 3 May 2022, at 2:21 am, Stefan Seering <robocup(a)stefan.seeri.ng<mailto:robocup@stefan.seeri.ng>> wrote: Dear Team RedBackBots, Dear Timothy, I am writing you due to your application to RoboCup SPL 2022. In your application you expressed that you are tentative about your commitment to participate in RoboCup SPL 2022. The TC would like if there are any updates available regarding your intent to participate. While we understand that commitments are still hard to make due to the global situation, we would like to know which of the following options is the most likely for you at the moment. a) You will participate in RoboCup SPL 2022 in person. b) You will not participate in person, but have interest in remotely participation in technical challenges if possible. c) You will not participate in RoboCup SPL 2022. You answer is helpful for planning RoboCup SPL 2022. Therefore, we ask you to please respond until Friday this week. Best regards Stefan Seering.

RoboEireann code usage for GORE 2022
by Rudi Villing 11 Apr '22

11 Apr '22

Dear all, RoboEireann wish to declare that after many years working with our own codebase, this year we have chosen to use the B-Human Code Release 2021 as the basis for our entry in the GORE 2022 event. We have replaced two modules to date: * the cards and skills behaviour architecture of the code release was replaced with our own coroutine based behaviour architecture * the original correlation-based whistle recognizer was replaced with our own whistle detector * We've also made some changes to support event-based communication. Finally, Low level vision is expected to be replaced going forward but this change is not ready at this time. We'd like to take the opportunity to thank B-Human for their significant open-source contributions to the SPL community and the high quality of their code release. Best regards, Rudi (on behalf of RoboEireann)
