[robocup-nao] UT Austin Villa open source usage

[Samuel Barrett]

Dear SPL teams,

This message is to declare the open source packages that UT Austin
Villa intends to make use of in its code base at the RoboCup 2013
competition in Eindhoven.  We are sending the message because some
licenses require a message to this list prior to the competition.

Our 2013 team will be based heavily on our 2012 team, which is
available open source at:
http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~AustinVilla/?p=downloads/source_code_and_binaries
The codebase is also documented in a paper to appear in the RoboCup
2013 Symposium proceedings:
   The 2012 UT Austin Villa Code Release
   Samuel Barrett, Katie Genter, Yuchen He, Todd Hester, Piyush
Khandelwal, Jacob Menashe, and Peter Stone

Separate from the source code release, the overall team structure is
documented in the RoboCup 2012 proceedings:
  UT Austin Villa: Standard Platform League World Champions
  Samuel Barrett, Katie Genter, Yuchen He, Todd Hester, Piyush
Khandelwal, Jacob Menashe, and Peter Stone

As fully described therein, most of the code is original, created by
the UT Austin Villa team, including the following modules:
   - Vision
   - Localization
   - Team coordination
   - Behavior
   - Motion primitives
We thank all past RoboCup teams for their contributions over the
years, in the form of publications and technical reports, from which
we have learned in developing our original codebase. We also thank
B-Human for their 2011 code release from which we adapt the walking
engine and kinematics calculations, and we thank Northern Bites for
their aid in interfacing between our code and  B-Human's walk engine.

As always, our current and past research projects related to RoboCup
are documented on the UT Austin Villa team page:
http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~AustinVilla/

We look forward to seeing all of you next month in Eindhoven!

Best Regards,

Samuel Barrett, Katie Genter, Yuchen He, Jake Menashe, Joseph Perez,
and Peter Stone
