Robots that are able to bounce back into the field within a short time (1s) after completely leaving the field, should not be considered out of bounds.

Please explain why do you think it should be in the rules

This increases the competitiveness of the competition by having 2 robots on the field most of the time.
This would also be more interesting to the spectators without causing much confusion to them.This also allow teams to overcome the physical limitations of being unable to stop in time despite detecting the white line. Additionally, in real life soccer, players that are out of the field are not penalized and are able to go back into play.

I think devices used for detecting the ball in Soccer Open league should be banned. By this I mean that all programs that are used for camera detection should be programmed exclusively by the students. This doesn't include cameras used in lightweight for locating the goal of the opponent.

Please explain why do you think it should be in the rules

One of the main reasons why the passive ball in RCJ Soccer Open was introduced was to close the gap between RCJ and The regular RC. Instead of picking up new skills (programming camera detection), many of the teams use devices such as pixy, and they learn nothing new. I think that all of the teams should be able to explain the algorithm used into detail. For example saying "Device "X" send the position of the ball to micro controller "X"" would not be enough. A more complex explanation would be required: "Device X takes frame from camera in the form of a 3 dimensional RGB array converts to HSV filter out colors into binary image, then finds topmost bottom-most leftmost and rightmost pixel, averages them out and than uses the I2C protocol to send to micro-controller "X" ". This way all participants of Soccer Open would legitimately have to learn something new, which is always good.
