I agree.

Even though it's true that we desired a smaller Soccerbot from the  
beginning, I would not give this a high priority for now. I think in  
case the TC decides it is too late for changes, the Soccerbot (comp)  
will be used (and we'll have a great demo of the Nao simulation);  
otherwise, we could use Nao right away.

Right.

I think a new soccer pitch for the Nao robot in addition to the old  
one is the way to go (maybe soccersim058 like Yuan suggested). It's  
not decided yet which robot will be used in RC08, so we should be  
prepared to support both (and also in order to use older binaries).

Cheers,
Joschka
