[robocup-legged] About AIBO

[Masahiro FUJITA]

Dear all,

As Asada-san sent the email, Sony announced that Sony discontinues
production of AIBO. 

Since the beginning, AIBO has grown up with RoboCup. We very much appreciate
all of your understanding and support for AIBO and Sony's activities. I know
the discussion about a platform in four-legged robot league and appreciate
the decision to use AIBO as the platform for RoboCup 2006. I appreciate to
it and I regret that Sony made this decision though it is your supports.

Personally it is very sad to stop AIBO production, but as Kitano-san
mentioned
it is a new start for next evolution for RoboCup.

I believe your success in RoboCup 2006!!
Thank you.

---- Masahiro
