As you mention, it wasn't my idea.  I just wanted to get it rolling.
I'll try to get some more formal rules organised soon.

I'm assuming we'll use something close to the legged league rules,  
robots and ball on the mid size field with mid-sized beacons, field  
markings and goals.  It will need to be a pick-up game, so we'll  
specify standard comms in the rules.

Ok.  Will the Centre Court have mid-sized markers?

Does anyone have both AIBOs and a mid-sized field?  I don't suppose  
they'd mind posting pictures of the mid-sized landmarks taken at  
different distances across the field (from a normal AIBO stance, not  
held in the air)?  I'd like to get a feel for whether/at what  
distance the AIBO has any chance of recognising the landmarks.

I suspect that most effort will be put into the competition games, so  
we'll have to do some preliminary work to make sure this isn't too  
hard before we commit to anything.

Another 24 hour venue... Who needs sleep anyway :)

Be well,
