Hello!
We are happy to announce that we have finished going over peer reviews and have submitted the preliminary qualification results. Each team should have received an email from an OC member with their results and we will soon publish them on our website. We also are happy with the overall quality of the TDPs and ETDPs we have seen this year!
Regarding which teams have been granted slots in this year's RoboCup, all teams should know their slot situation from their qualification email. Slots have been assigned regardless of qualification status, however teams that have been conditionally qualified and fail to resubmit improved materials will lose their slots on or before April 15th.
As stated in previous emails, we have allocated 4 slots in Division B for random selection, in order to guarantee the participation of new teams. The four randomly selected teams were: Sysmic Robotics, TritonBots FC, TurtleRabbit and Project Neon.
For teams that have qualified and have been given a slot, we will send out registration codes as soon as possible. Starting from that date, teams will have 4 weeks to send us confirmation of the team registration payment. Failure to do so will result in the team losing its slot and a team on the waitlist being called to fill that spot. If your team is aware that you will not be able to make it, please reach out to the Organizing Committee as soon as possible so that we can call another team. After that, every team that is contacted because a slot has been open will have 3 weeks to provide the confirmation of the team registration payment.
We are aware that this will add complexity to the qualification process but we do have more teams wanting to join than are physically possible in the venue. We will do our best to communicate with everyone and expect your collaboration too.
Thank you,
Carla Cosenza
