[robocup-small] Request for robot sizes

Hi All,

the TC is currently discussing the standardization of robot patterns
to be used with the shared vision system.
For that process it would be good to know what the typical sizes of
all teams' robots are.

Attached is a diagram of a typical robot shape. Assuming your team
uses a similar "cut-off circle" shape, please send us the values of:
- r: the main robot radius (e.g. distance from center circle to the
side and back of the robot).
- d: distance from the center to the front of the robot.
- your team name

If your robot is not of this particular "cut-off circle" shape, but
something else (e.g. hexagon) then please send in the maximum value of
d and r where this cut-off circle would be fully enclosed by your
robot shape. If available, also send in a drawing of the top of your
robot with annotated measurements. This will help us in deciding what
a standard pattern should look like in order to fit most teams.

Please send in this data to the TC
(small-size-tc at informatik.uni-bremen.de), before November 1st.

Finally, this is also a reminder that we are still having open
discussions about rule changes. Please bring up anything you would
like to see changed or improved. Otherwise, the TC will assume that
everybody is happy with the current rules :-).

Thanks,
Stefan (on behalf of SSL-TC).
