The form to join the Subcommittee has been on the forum since April, we’re looking to get as many perspectives from as many regions as we can get on board.
We have specified flexible field sizes to enable the use of old Soccer A fields or easy (and temporary) conversion of First Lego League or regular soccer fields. The reason we can’t just use normal fields is that many schools or clubs just starting out don’t have those either and more importantly that beginners, particularly with robots built from Kits like Daisen (JP) or Lego/Fischer Technik (European regions) can’t do line detection very well (in fact a lot of 2:2 teams are struggling there) so walls are needed.
The issue with this is that it hinders reuse of 1:1 Entry LWL robots in 2:2 LWL, particularly for teams with fewer resources.
This is ultimately up to the Italian organizers, most other European regions I’m aware of are running 1:1 for Entry (Standard Kit or self-build or two Entry leagues) and for the proposed rules that’s also going to be he case.
9V we’re scrapping for the reasons outlined here, 1.1kg and 22cm are what is in the draft.
This is an interesting proposal that deserves its own discussion thread, particularly because it affects both Entry and non-entry.
Best Regards
David
