Hi everyone,
I’m Tanjila Akter Simi, working on Task-G (Visual / Color Acuity) for RoboCup RRL 2026. I’ve gone through the official rulebook and fabrication guide, but I have some confusion around the gap direction labels, ring counting, and how scoring works.
The official rulebook only states:
G - VISUAL/COLOR ACUITY (1 point) — Concentric Cs.
“Process: Identify the gap in the ring 3 levels deep.”
Since the rulebook doesn’t go into further detail, I’m hoping to get some clarification on the following:
-
What exactly do the gap direction labels mean?
• Is the naming based on which way the opening of the C-shape faces, rather than a measured angle?
• Does “Left 90°” simply mean the gap is fully open toward the left (like 9 o’clock on a clock face)?
• Is there an official reference diagram or explanation of this labeling system in the rules? -
How should the operator report the answer to score the task?
• Does the operator need to announce both the ring colour and the gap direction, or is one enough?
• Should they use the chart label (e.g. “Left 90°”) or is a plain direction word (e.g. “left”, “lower-right”) acceptable?
• If the colour is right but the gap direction is wrong (or the other way around), is any partial point awarded?
• Is there a specific verbal format required, or is any clear spoken answer accepted? -
Ring counting — confirming which ring is scored.
• Is the coloured outer ring excluded from the count, making ring 3 the 3rd black C-ring inward?
• Is ring 3 consistent in size across all competition targets (1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, etc.)?
I’d really appreciate clarification on all of the above before the competition.
Thanks in advance
