Some ideeas and coments

Hi everybody,

1. Passive behavior:
To decrease round times I suggest to set a time limit
for the inactivity. If none of the robots doesn't make
any movement (position on the tatami not changed) for
a time then the current game ends and the winner is
declared like after the 2 minutes.

2. Falling count limit:
I think to make a limit is not a good idea. In my
consideration the games will be less interesting.
It would be better to take in consideration for the
decision of the winner the time above the falling
limit.

3. The competition system:
I think it would be better a league system, and in
each day players from the respectively league plays
with everybody from that league, and for winning match
gets points. And the day winner is the player who has
more points in the "A league". In that way the
controllers will be more stable, and the played match
number also increased (also the testing feedback), and
the last year "affair" would not occur :)
I think the matches should be the same as now (best
from 5) because the best robots even if loses one
match can win the round and the day.

I suggest 10 competitors in one league. The first two
get into the next level of league and the last two
falls down. The winner will be the robot with the most
victories.
At the current stage on one day there are 50 matches.
In the above suggestions with 50 competitors there
will be 5 leagues. On one league there is 45 matches,
totally gives 225 matches. This means 5 time the
current match time.
If the robots number is grove above a limit the
leagues could contain less robots. For example for the
current stage with 50 robots with 8 competitor league
(6 leagues) the total number of matches will be  6 *
28 + 45 (one league with 10 competitors) = 213. With 6
competitor league (8 leagues) the total number of
matches will be  7 * 15 + 28 (8 robots) = 133.

Best regards
