RoboRugby 2010 - Table Layout
Basic Table Layout
The layout of the competition table for 2010 is shown in the
picture above and in the diagram below.
For a printer-friendly diagram with dimensions, see the pdf document.
Table Details
The competition matches will alternate between two
tables. The tables
are made of wood, which is a natural material.
Therefore, surfaces may not be precisely flat, and dimensions are not precise.
Also, the two tables may differ slightly in exact measurements, shape and
texture.
The external lighting of the tables in the competition will differ from that in the laboratory.
The playing area is
nominally 2.4 m long and 1.185 m wide. All measurements given are approximate.
The only official measurements are those of the actual tables.
-
All dimensions on the diagram are in mm. Small dimensions are
rounded to 1 mm, large dimensions may be rounded to 5 mm.
-
The wall height is nominally 93 mm, and will not exceed 96
mm.
The wall thickness will not exceed 20 mm.
-
There will be no obstructions within 50 mm of the outside face
of each side wall, but this does not apply to the end walls,
where beacons and other equipment may be mounted.
-
There will be no obstructions within 500 mm vertically above
the playing surface of the table. The lighting units used
in the competition will be at least 800 mm above the playing
surface of the table.
-
The table surface will be mostly matt black, but will be matt
grey in part of the scoring zone. There will also be white markings
and thin pencil lines on the table surface.
-
The scoring areas will be marked by white bumps, 4 mm high,
with a rounded profile as shown in the diagram.
-
The centre line
of the table will be marked by a pencil line, intended for use
by humans in setting up and scoring the competition
matches. There may be other pencil lines on the table,
which should be ignored.
-
There will be 15 balls on the table at the start of each
match,
in fixed positions as shown on the diagram: 10 white, 4 yellow
and 1 red. The ball diameter is approximately 42mm.
The balls have loose pieces inside them, to damp their rolling
movement on the table. The mass of a ball
is approximately 7 g.
-
Where white or yellow balls will be placed, there will be circular ball holders,
approximately 18 mm in diameter and no more than 2 mm high.
These will be coloured to match the table or line
on which they are positioned. The red ball will be placed
on a pedestal, approximately 90 mm high and 35 mm in diameter,
fixed to the table. The top of this pedestal will be
hollow and may be enlarged so that the lower part of the red
ball fits inside the pedestal, making it harder to remove the
ball.
-
Infra-red beacons will be mounted at the ends of the table,
aligned with the centre-line of the table. The transmitting
position is approximately 90 mm outside the inner surface of
the end wall of the table, and about 160 mm above the table surface.
A shield is fitted just below the beacon LEDs, and extends about
85 mm in front of them and about 150 mm in width. This
shield does not overhang the playing surface, but it does extend
over the end wall of the table.
-
The location of the robot starting area is shown on the
diagram. It is bounded
to the sides and the rear by the white lines on the table, but does not include those lines or any balls on them. It is bounded to the front by the pencil line
marking the centre of the table, and by the red ball and the pedestal supporting
it.
