[robocup-nao] Nao's in the carry-on luggage

UNSW puts the Naos into the checked luggage.  We have suitcases and 
then cut the foam that the Naos arrived in to suit the suitcase. 
This actually seems safer than having them squashed into the 
over-head luggage areas.

China had some strict conditions for the robots, so we were held up 
at customs until the RoboCup representative arrived.  As a precaution 
when we left Australia, we got our Customs to stamp a list of 
everything we were taking out so that when we returned we could prove 
that the robots were not new imports, but from memory there was no 
issue.

I would recommend removing the battery to avoid any issues.

Cheers,
Brad
