[robocup-msrs] New Microsoft Soccer Package available

[Nikos Vlassis]

Hi Kyle,

thanks for the new patch. Good idea :-)

1) The only change to the main player service seems to be the addition of
this line:

            _state.TeamName = "our team name";

Are there other changes in manifests or sources, so that we update the
robudog versions of our code?

2) Funny things are happening with the new referee. When I move objects or
press kickoff, the robots start doing all kinds of acrobatics and eventually
jump out of the simulation environment. With the old version this never
happened. (This could be because I've been hacking the robot motion, but
this is really strange behavior)
