Eligibility
All teams that participate in RoboCup 2024 and have released a significant portion of their work under an open source license. Teams will be required to submit information regarding their entry prior to a date announced by the Organizing Committee in order to be considered for the Open Source Award. Contributions to league-maintained software, such as SSL-Vision, are not eligible for this award.
Submission
A submission for the Open Source Award will include the following
- Link(s) to the open source project
- Link(s) to any related documentation for using the open source project
- A short description of the project and documentation submitted and their innovation and relevance to the RoboCup Small Size League.
Submissions will be made to the Small Size League Mailing List by July 15th CEST, 2024. The subject of the email should be RoboCup 2024 – Open Source Award Submission <Your Team Name>. Late submissions will not be considered.
Presentation
During the competition, the Organizing Committee will designate a time for Open Source award presentations. All teams that meet the eligibility requirements and who submitted details prior to the deadline will prepare a presentation of their entry. The presentation should not exceed five minutes in length. A short question and answer question will immediately follow each presentation.
Selection Criteria
Each team in attendance at RoboCup 2024 will receive a ballot. Each ballot will contain a form for each submission to be evaluated independently on a numeric scale in multiple categories, each weighted equally. The categories will be quality of submission, quality of documentation/supporting materials, and innovation. The scores of each submission will be averaged and the submission with the highest average score will receive the award.
If through the evaluation of the ballots the question arises, whether a team actually evaluated the other teams proposal, the TC/OC committee has the option to drop the ballot(s) in question.
Most Improved Team Award
The RoboCup Small Size League Most Improved Team Award is given to a team that has seen the greatest improvement between the previous RoboCup competition and the current competition. The improvement can be related to game performance, robot design, or other aspects for the benefit and advancement of the RoboCup community.
Eligibility
All teams that participate in RoboCup 2024 are eligible to receive this award.
Selection Criteria
The winner of the most improved award will be selected by a ballot. All teams will provide a ranked list of their top three choices for this award. In addition, each member of the three league committees can also submit their own ballot.
Each time a team appears on a ballot in the top position, it will be worth three points, two points for the second position, and one point for the third position. The award will go to the team with the most points.
Most Helpful Team Award
The RoboCup Small Size League Most Helpful Team Award is given to a team that has been the most helpful during this year’s RoboCup. The help can be any form of help to other teams (e. g. knowledge, tools, repairs) or any form of help with the organization of the tournament.
