If you have tested your team with the Server50, you will see that after 20
or 30 cycles bugs begin to be seen and what you'll see are mostly some
ambulances trying to load/unload injuries but the server do not accept their
order. So you can still adopt your code, only you can not rely on the final
score because of these bugs.

In addition, channel based communication needs some algorithm adopting
because, you know(?), we have only 10 channels so communication is too
limited (keep in mind also that we should assign two different channels for
each send and receive due to hear limit of each channel). Therefore we must
begin adopting so earlier.

And as I said before, Server50 used in the JapanOpen2007 competitions (you
can not guess how with these bugs :D) and we wanted to participate there.

It seems that teams which have not begin to change their code for the new
server, hope that the committee decides not to use it, but it is unfair in
my opinion. Server50 is released a few month ago and considered to be the
server in RoboCup2007.

I believe that current version bugs are small, just needs the one who know
what is changed from Server49 to 50 and the details of the structure. My
friends and I will try to fix load/unload bug in coming days (a few holidays
in Iran) and inform others about the result.

Really looking forward to hearing the committee's voice.

Best regards,
Ahmad.
