[robocup-legged] A Standard Robot Platform for Robot Soccer

[Fuminori Yamasaki]

Dear Prof.Javier,

Thank you for your mail.
Now we use 200MHz RISC processor(ARM 9 core), and we can switch it to
other processors.
However we only know upto 400MHz RISC computer. If you want over 500MHz
processor, it is easier that we select SISC processor such as X86 series
CPU and so on.

We will keep looking for new RISC processors, and we will inform you a
main board if we can find reasonable size and power consumption boards.

If you know the reasonable board, please let me know.

Best regards
Fuminori Yamasaki
