January 2022 Update

Dear SSL-Community, As the RoboCup 2022 planning is underway, the OCs and the TCs would like to share information on what will be happening. RoboCup Participation Survey The RoboCup local organizers asks all teams to fill out the following participation survey: https://forms.gle/FKJMMRaqWK6rSPLq9 Deadline for submission is *January 30th*, anywhere on earth. Rule changes There are only minor improvements in the rules for RoboCup 2022. The changes are currently formulated in pull requests <https://github.com/RoboCup-SSL/ssl-rules/pulls> in the ssl-rules repository, most notably: 1. Revival of the advantage rule that allows teams to keep a game running when the opponent does not remove a robot within the 10 seconds: https://github.com/RoboCup-SSL/ssl-rules/pull/43/files 2. Improve tie breaking during penalty shootouts: https://github.com/RoboCup-SSL/ssl-rules/pull/42/files Please have a look at them and voice your concerns as soon as possible. They will be merged soon. Radio We are in contact with the LOC regarding the radio communication during the competition, especially if they will allow us to use 5GHz Wifi for the robot communication. So far, we only know that it might be possible, but we can not give you a guaranteed answer yet. We are already in contact with some teams regarding the use of 5GHz. If you are not using a frequency near 2.4GHz and have not yet contacted us, please tell us your desired solution. Technical challenges For RoboCup 2022, we will have three technical challenges. These challenges will be based on previous (technical) challenges with some small advancements: Blackout Challenge We will have the blackout challenge again to continue improving onboard sensing. There will be multiple phases with increasing difficulty again. This time, the focus will be on robot interaction: Two robots will need to collaborate with each other to score a goal. Dribbling challenge We will take the dribbling challenge from the hardware challenges from this year as a new technical challenge to keep improving the dribbling ability of our robots. There will be a new, more challenging scenario. Ball placement challenge The ball placement challenge will be the same as this year. Only teams from division B may attend it. We will not require attendance, though we strongly encourage teams to do so. The rules of the technical challenges will be updated in the upcoming months. Thank you! Kind regards, Selina Zwerver RoboCup Small Size League | Organizing Committee
