The walk in circle was implemented in the following way: the robot will step
several steps sideways, then will turn to ball, as described in the section
\ref{j sec turn to ball}, and finally will adjust the distance to the ball by
stepping forwards or backwards, so that the ball is neither too close nor too
far. The distance to the ball, similarly to the stage of the direct approach,
is not measured explicitly, but is approximated through the position of the
ball image in the camera frame. After performing these steps, the check is
performed, if the goal alignment is completed. Otherwise, the steps will be
repeated until alignment is achieved.

\section{Ball Alignment}
Now that the ball and the goal are aligned, the robot has to move to the ball
into a position, from which the kick can be performed. Depending on the
situation, it may be feasible to select the foot, with which the kick should be
performed, but due to time constraints we programmed the robot to kick with the
left foot only. So, the task now is to place the ball in front of the left
foot. We realized, that when the ball is in the correct position, then its
image in the lower camera should be within a certain region. We experimentally
determined the extents of this region. The algorithm therefore is for the robot
to gradually adjust its position in small steps, until the ball image reaches
the target, after which the robot will proceed with the kick. Our tests have
shown, that this approach while being relatively simple, works sufficiently
robust, which means that we didn't have the situations, when the robot missed
the ball after alignment or even hit the ball with an edge of the foot.
