RoboCup Federation is pleased to introduce a waiver of the team fee for
the 2015 international RoboCup competition for NEW teams in the major
leagues. A NEW team is defined as a team all of whose team members have
never participated in an annual international RoboCup competition. The
waiver concerns only the team fee and does not imply any waiver of fees
for team members.</span></p>
