New-comers

We understand that not all groups are familiar with the Virtual Robot
competition environment UsarSim. However, new teams can either choose to
code their own algorithms from scratch or use algorithms developed on top
of the provided middl-ware like Player, MOAST, or ROS. A number of teams
have published their code on-line, which can be used as reference
implementation.

Note: It is important that new teams improve upon and acknowledge previous
teams' codes. Otherwise, they will be not be qualified.
