Overview
RoboCup Software encompasses all parts of the system that run on a host machine (not the robots). The entire software system is composed both of the components we play soccer and compete with as well as a sort of SDK that allows new components to be written quickly for idea and system testing.

Tasks
This is the main list of project ideas/tasks for robocup 2013
Main Programs
- soccer
- Everything after vision and before radio happens here.
- simulator
- Simulates a game environment, including vision and radio
- sslrefbox
- The standard SSL referee box for issuing referee commands to all teams
- radio
- Radio communication with on-field robots
Logging Utilities
- log_viewer
- Playback of logged data
- simple_logger

Conventions
There are a variety of conventions used throughout the code, both to represent soccer-playing, and to maintain consistency in code development.
- RoboCup Robot Identification
- The means by which specific robots and field entities can be identified
- RoboCup Field Structure
- The coordinate systems and their relationship to the field
- Field and Camera Information
- Specifications on our cameras
