Task: Penalty Shootout

Detailed description of the competition

To begin with, it is recommended to see how the penalty shootout game happens by running the program C:\Elsiros\worlds\FIRA_2023_penalty.wbt

1

Description of commands
Your team plays in blue T-shirts. The team in red T-shirts is a team with a standard strategy of the game
2

Initial parameters
If nothing is changed in the parameters of the blue team's striker, then it is highly likely that it will lose
3

Defining a change in strategy
Changing the strategy is determining the strength and direction of the strike in different sectors of the field

The goal of the task

Your task is to change the strategy of the blue team's attacker for a successful result

Changing the strategy

In the program used, the gate for the attack is on the right. On the left are the gates that need to be protected

Opening the program
You can change the strategy through the program strategy_designer.py

To do this, you need to type the following commands in the command line console:

cd C:\Elsiros\controllers\FIRA_TEAM

python strategy_designer.py

After launching the interactive "Strategy Designer" window, you need to download the current strategy from the file: C:\Elsiros\controllers\FIRA_TEAM\Init_params\strategy_data.json

01
Description of the playing field
The field is divided into 20x20cm segments. Each segment is assigned the direction and force of impact

When the ball is in a certain segment, the attacker applies the direction and the force that you determine

In each segment, you need to determine the direction and force of the impact, for this you need to click on the segment
02
Changing the direction and force of the kick
Using the YAW slider or the digital field, you assign the direction of impact. The magnitude of the angle in the digital field is expressed in degrees

Using the slider or the digital POWER field, you set the kick. The force of the kick in the digital field is expressed in the multiplicity of the weakening of the kick (1 - strong kick, 3- weak kick), gradation from 1 to 3

The yellow segment shows the most likely point of arrival of the ball after the kick
03

Since the simulator introduces random disturbances into the game, don't be surprised if you don't see the result of the strategy change right away. In order to see the result, you need to do a large number of games

After the changes are made, you need to save them

1

Writing to RAM
In order for the program to remember the changes made in RAM, you need to click on the "Record" button, then you can move on to the next segment
2

Saving to a file
After you finish editing the strike strategy matrix, you need to save it to a file: C:\Elsiros\controllers\FIRA_TEAM\Init_params\strategy_data.json
To do this, you can use the "SaveExit" button or the "File/Save" or "File/Save as" drop-down menu
3

Checking the results
After changing the strategy, you can check the result by running the program C:\Elsiros\worlds\FIRA_2023_penalty.wbt

The FIRA jury will run 3 series to identify a reliable result
