[robocup-humanoid] Call for additional TeenSize teams

[Daniel Seifert]

Hi

team FUmanoids is very interested in joining the TeenSize league, we
already discussed some ideas how to make this possible. Considering
the short time frame, when will the final decision be made regarding
the size change?

Best regards
