[robocup-small] Schedule for SSL Rules 2008

[Sedat Dogru]

Hi everybody,

As a member of a team who is working hard to attend robocup-smallsize 
for the first time, I would like to comment about larger field size (at 
least from our perspective).

Since cost of 4 cameras would be  two times the cost of 2 cameras, I 
think poor teams like us will have a lot of difficulty buying /getting 
enough good quality cameras. So, in order to attend we will be 
economically forced to use low quality cameras, which will be a big 
disadvantage for us. Therefore, I consider a bigger field size plausible 
only if a shared vision system is used.

Assuming the above problem is somehow solved, I am also in favor of a 
bigger field size, since ,as was already mentioned in the list, it is 
going to increase team-playing provided that maximum robot/ball speeds 
do not increase.
