[robocup-humanoid] Problems with the lodge registration

[Tucker Balch]

Several hundred attendees have successfully registered using
our process through PayPal.  However, some people are having
trouble.  We are sorry to hear about the difficulties.  The
key difficulty seems to be that in some countries, PayPal
sets a maximum purchase amount for non-members.  (The limit
in the US is $2000).  Here are suggested work arounds:

         1. Divide your registration into several smaller
                 purchases.

         2. Become a PayPal member.  We realize this is not
                 desireable for some, but it does lift the
                 purchasing limit.
