[robocup-legged] Ordering NAO

[Michail G. Lagoudakis]

Regarding the new NAO league, I would like to ask if the technical committee has made any decision 
on the rules, in particular with respect to robot colors. I am asking because the 4 NAO RoboCup 
package comes with 2 sets of red and 2 sets of blue colored parts. If we are to change colors at 
half-time we need to buy 2 additional sets of each color in order to have a full team of either blue 
or red color. That's my intuition, but on the other hand the committee may decide to not use color 
on the robots at all, or use something different than red or blue. As teams are currently placing 
orders, it will be great to know what the rules will look like.

In addition, I would like to ask Aldebaran Robotics to provide a detailed list of items included in 
the 4 NAO RoboCup package. As far as I know it includes only 2 chargers, so teams may want to buy 
more chargers if they want to have one for each robot. And yes, I will second Claude on the access 
code request. Teams need to start working on the simulator as soon as possible.

Thank you,

Michail
