The final 2017 rules can now be found here!

The official forum for the RoboCup Humanoid League that is supported by the RoboCup Federation can now be found here.

The first rule draft for the 2017 rules can now be found here. The rules are up for discussion until 2017-01-31 in the new forum for the RoboCup humanoid league.

The Technical Committee decided to extend the deadline to upload the qualification material. The new submission deadline is Wednesday, December 14th.
The material will be carefully reviewed by the Technical Committee over Christmas and the beginning of January and the qualified teams will be announced on January 26th.
The Call for Participation was updated with the new dates.

The Call for Participation for RoboCup 2017 has been released. Please submit your qualification material at http://submission.robocuphumanoid.org by December 1st, 2016.

Since the schedule the last years was quite tight for visa and funding application and planning team travel, the TC decided to change the schedule of the qualification process this year. The time plan for 2017 is as follows:

1. Call for participation: Published as soon as possible, latest October 31st
2. Submission deadline for team applications: December 1st
3. Announcement of qualification results: January 8th

The TC is also hoping to publih the first draft of the new rule book before the end of the
application process and invite discussion about the rule proposal until the end of
January, so a final version of the rule book can be released by the end of February.

The TC hopes this will give teams not only the possibility to adapt to the rule changes early, but also to give comments about the rule draft which will be considered by the TC for the final version.
