\chapter{Example Skills}
\label{chap:example-skills}

The following section presents a list of \iterm{Example Skills} with an high degree of difficulty which can be exploited during the \textit{Open Demonstrations} (See \refsec{sec:open-demonstrations}.
Other skills not on this list (yet) may be added as well. If you want to do so, please let the TC know via email (tc@robocupathome.org) for their inclusion on the RuleBook so all teams may also show this skill.

Please note that these examples are to illustrate the level of complexity and applicability that should be shown. For instance, \quotes{Handle a pan} is listed in the category of \textit{Complex manipulation}, but it is extensive to handling pans, pots, woks and any other cookware with handles.
