november 15th robocup meeting
all students + philip present

philip would like to keep the meeting to half an hour, so make with the quick status reports

alex:
-has been trying to improve passing by having the kicker shout out where the ball is going, but the other players don't always hear it
yulia & chani think this isn't worthwhile because the kicking is so inaccurate
-alex will try other ways to improve passing

chani:
-implemented ball and player decay
-found out that the code for updating object positions was never being called and fixed that
-will work vision optimization next
-may also experiment with changing minimum-confidence values
philip suggests making smaller movements when confidence is low, yulia is already doing that for dashing

ioana:
-found a passing bug, and is looking into interception problems
-was trying to get the new human controller to work, no luck

yulia thinks the codebase has too many problems for ML to be useful

patrik:
-was working on merging all the branch stuff into trunk
-hardware issues corrupted all his work, so he has to redo it

yulia:
-found a problem with vision - only the first two flags are being used to determine position
-was going to fix it but ended up in hospital instead
-wrote a small gui for starting teams and server
-started modifying the on_see function

philip has three more things to say
-no, robocup is not confirmed for next semester
-doesn't think we need to change the marking scheme if we can justify not doing ML.
-wants us to put together all the code and do a demo
patrik thinks he'll have the code merged by saturday
-ioana will do the demo, the morning of nov. 23rd
