[robocup-nao] Number of robots for RoboCup SPL 2011

[Rick Middleton]

Dear All,

I think we can only repeat what others have said:
- for us number of robots is not an issue, but for other teams, this 
could be serious;
- crowding/pushing could be come a real issue.
- localisation etc. will be more difficult since there will be more 
obstructions to vision
- it would make a significant different to the games, strategies (I 
guess lower scoring games in general?).

Overall, we are fine with the change, provided there are some rule 
changes to help with the crowding/pushing issue.
