Sayelen Rios developed autonomous ball handling and defensive logic for the IITA-Proyectos/RoboCupJunior-Soccer-Open-League-2025 repository over two months, focusing on embedded systems and robotics using C++. She implemented Forward and Archer Modes, enabling robots to align, approach, and kick the ball based on serial data, enhancing tactical responsiveness and match reliability. In July, she refactored the defense logic to process distance input via serial communication, replacing camera-based and angle-dependent methods. This reduced sensor coupling and improved reliability under variable conditions. Her work demonstrated depth in embedded mode design, serial data integration, and maintainable, real-time decision-making for robotic soccer applications.

July 2025—RoboCupJunior-Soccer-Open-League-2025: Delivered a robust Serial Distance Input Handling and Defense Action Logic. Replaced the previous angle-based and camera-data-dependent approach with a serial-input pipeline: accumulate characters until 'x', parse as integer distance, and trigger defensive actions when distance < 20. This refactor reduces sensor coupling, improves reliability in variable lighting, and simplifies the data path for real-time decisions. The change lowers maintenance burden by removing dependency on camera-derived distance data and clarifies the decision flow for defensives.

June 2025 monthly summary for IITA-Proyectos/RoboCupJunior-Soccer-Open-League-2025. Focused on feature delivery for autonomous ball handling. Implemented Robot Ball Handling Modes: Forward Mode (serial data-driven alignment and movement with kick/push indicator when close) and Archer Mode (detects close-to-goal ball positions to execute a kick). These modes enhance autonomy, defensive/offensive responsiveness, and match reliability. Two commits underpinning the work: 332f66548f5dd38c67cb7bb228bf3d42eb012dd2 (Create modo_delantero) and 67b518352aeb7dd8cfa2afeccc0e7e703c18db36 (Create Mejora_mmodoarquero). No major bugs recorded this month; the focus was feature delivery and reliability. Impact: stronger autonomous ball handling and tactical responsiveness, setting foundation for higher-level strategies. Technologies/skills demonstrated: autonomous mode design, serial data integration, mode-switching logic, and Git-based collaborative development.
