[robocup-legged] Ordering Aibos

[Peter Stone]

Legged league teams,

Thank you to all the teams who sent information about how many Aibos
they would like to pre-order.

I want to make sure that there was no confusion about it.  That
message was just to collect information to see if it will be possible
to find a company that could buy Aibos now and sell them back to
RoboCup teams later.  You should *not* consider that you have placed
any real orders through me or the technical committee.

At this point, it's not clear that there will be very many Aibos left
at all after March of this year.  I strongly suggest that if you know
that you will want more Aibos and if you can afford to buy them now,
that you place your order with Sony immediately.

We will keep *trying* to make it so that some are available to RoboCup
teams in 2007 and 2008.  But there's no guarantee.  And even if so,
they will be fairly limited.

Best Regards,
	Peter
