After getting the assistant referee a black trouser, we started in our kick-out match against the Bold Hearts. Our work last evening about better ignoring the possibility of a goal along the team table paid off and so our robots mostly saw the correct ball and goal. But as the Bold Hearts are running a lot faster than our robots, they were often ahead of us when getting to the ball. On the other hand they had problems with the recognition of their own goal which led to them scoring own goals. Tamara did her best when she reached the ball first and had two very big chances but kicked the ball just outside the goal post into the offside. With the final score of 2:4 we are out of the game schedule and will use the remaining two and a half days to use the competition fields as a perfect testing area for some features that we did not finish in time for the matches, work on Technical Challenges and put more work into the development of our GOAL prototype. And of course we will cheer for the Bold Hearts in their upcoming matches and hope for them to reach the final 😉
