[robocup-humanoid] Call for additional TeenSize teams

[Sven Behnke]

Dear Humanoid League Teams,

for the competition in Istanbul, only two TeenSize teams submitted 
qualification material so far.
This is not sufficient to hold a TeenSize competition.

One of the reasons for few TeenSize teams could be that the size range 
for TeenSize robots is very narrow.
The 2010 rules allowed only robots from 100-120cm to compete in the 
TeenSize class.
For comparison: KidSize robots had to be 30cm-60cm and AdultSize 
130cm-160cm.

Because currently there is a large gap (40cm) between KidSize and TeenSize,
one option would be to lower the size required for TeenSize robots to 80cm.

The purpose of this call is to find out if additional teams would like 
to compete in TeenSize,
if the allowed robot size was 80-120cm.

If you seriously consider participation in the 2011 TeenSize competition 
in Istanbul,
please indicate this to this list by February 14th.

Best regards,

Sven Behnke.
