[robocup-humanoid] WG: [Fwd: Field sizes used in 2008]

[Oskar von Stryk]

Dear Humanoid League Teams,

I am awfully sorry. This email of mine was meant to be sent
to the TC 2009 mailing list for preliminary rule discussion, not to the 
general HL mailing list. But I have pressed the wrong button.
I apologize heavily. Ashes over my head.

Best regards,
Oskar
