Dear Cameron
Certainly you are right, we need both of them. But, I think we have to
keep a balance between them! Every year from 2004 we have a protocol
change but what about simulator? No major changes from 2005 ( ResQ
Freiburg with Crowd simulator has won the Infrastructure Competition at
RoboCup 2005 but it never add to the simulation package!) In spite of all
these, I am agree with you and Arash, the problem is lack of support and
volunteer work.
Anyway we are really appreciate what you and Arash and others have done
during these years.
Regards,
Omid.
