Hi everyone,
We want to thank you all for participating in this year’s in-person
RoboCup! It was amazing to see you all again, and I hope you enjoyed the
event as much as we did. With this email we would like to congratulate you
all with your results. We know that it hasn’t been easy to work on your
robots in the past 2-3 years, but all of you made it to Bangkok and were
able to play some matches!

Hello!
As said in the Open Meeting today, we will be accepting nominations for new TC / OC members for the 2023 RoboCup. Please send us your nominations by email until the end of the day today, July 13th, 2022 (Wednesday) with your name, your team/university and a brief paragraph saying why you want to be TC / OC.
Thank you very much!

Dear SSL community,
as in past years, we are happy to submit our entry for the Open Source
Award.
You will find a list of our publications below.
Framework + Simulator:
This is the main software we use to develop and test our AI. It is able to
- receive and process real life vision data
- simulate SSL games
- control robots
- create game recordings and play them back
...and much more.
New features since last years RoboCup include:
- A new dribbling filter
- Basic Git integration (i.e. show the Commit the binary is built from)
Git integration into our log format will be released soon after
RoboCup
- Various bug fixes and small features
The repository also contains our simulator, bundled as a standalone
executable for usage in this years RoboCup.
https://github.com/robotics-erlangen/framework
Autoref
This is our automatic referee, that detects the various rule
infringements teams can commit during a SSL game.
https://github.com/robotics-erlangen/autoref
In case you have questions about our software or are just curious, feel
welcome to write an email to info(a)robotics-erlangen.de
Best regards

Dear SSL-Community,
For the first year since competing RoboTeam Twente is ready to enter for
the Open Source Award. As all of our team members change (almost) in full
every year we strive to have detailed and easy to understand documentation
for everyone. This means that apart from all our designs we have collected
all our recent how-to's, design decisions and detailed explanations into a
wiki. This wiki we also use to introduce new people to our team, so we hope
it can be especially helpful for newer teams and those who are looking into
tips for building enough robots to transition to division A.
Our wiki can be found here: https://wiki.roboteamtwente.nl/
Although the wiki also describes all previously made design in terms of
hardware and software, some highlights of the changes we made this year
include:
- Transitioning to a modular design with hardware and electronics combined
for faster repair and more extensive testing. (rationale
<https://wiki.roboteamtwente.nl/technical/mechanics/design_rationale_21_22>)
- A fully renewed Front Assembly, which contains our dribbler and a new
dampening mechanism. (design
<https://wiki.roboteamtwente.nl/technical/mechanics/robot_21_22/front_assemb…>
| rationale
<https://wiki.roboteamtwente.nl/technical/mechanics/design_rationale_21_22/f…>
)
- Custom made space-saving solenoids for kicking and chipping which freed
up quite some space in our robots. (design
<https://wiki.roboteamtwente.nl/technical/mechanics/robot_21_22/solenoids>
| rationale
<https://wiki.roboteamtwente.nl/technical/mechanics/design_rationale_21_22/s…>
)
- Newly designed path planning based on bang-bang trajectories. (rationale
<https://wiki.roboteamtwente.nl/technical/ai/path>)
We hope this can help other teams in their process of improving the SSL
robots. If you have any questions we are more than happy to answer them,
and if you find it useful we would love to hear that from you. We look
forward to seeing you all at the RoboCup!
Kind regards,
Anne van Harten | RoboTeam Twente
Dear SSL-community,
as in the past years we are very happy to announce our entry for the
Open Source Award. By now there is a one-stop shop to get it all:
https://github.com/TIGERs-Mannheim
We are doing a complete and full release of everything we have,
including electronics, mechanics, and our full AI. Here is a brief
description of what has changed.
Mechanics:
The kicker and dribbler have been slightly updated to be more robust.
The dribbler now allows prolonged periods of dribbling with higher
torque. The release includes the full robot mechanics.
Firmware:
The build system has been changed to CMake and the folder structure has
been reorganized. The dribbler control algorithm now allows better
current and speed control. Test and model identification methods have
been cleaned up and improved. The release also includes our wireless
protocol and base station firmware.
Software (AI):
The heart and brain of our team, the central control software "Sumatra".
Of course, compatible with the simulation protocol. So you can test your
AI against ours locally. Watch out for some serious dribbling moves
which will make you sweat ;)
In case you are missing any information or if you are just curios,
contact us on Discord or write us an email.
Tigertastic Greetings,
TIGERs Mannheim
