[robocup-legged] Proposals for standard platform league?

[Oskar von Stryk]

Dear Michail, Dear Four-Legged Robot Teams,

Information about the joint proposal by TU Darmstadt and Hajime Research 
Ltd. for a new, open and modular platform for research in autonomous 
four-legged robots can be found at

	http://www.thenewrobot.com/

For photos and videos please see section "Media".
The current information on the website will be extended in the next days and 
weeks.

We have been told that the decision of the RoboCup Federation will be
announced by the end of July.

Please note that our robot will be marketed in any case.
We have put inside the four-legged robot design all of our experience
of six years of participation in the four-legged robot league and as robot 
developers for the humanoid robot league. 
The new robot enables a large variety of new research possibilities for 
application in RoboCup but also far beyond due to its extended and 
improved motion and sensing capabilities and its open and reconfigurable 
hardware and software.

With best regards,
Oskar
