イントロダクション

We are in the early days of RoboCup [#!kitano1995:robocup!#], with half a century to go before we can ``...build a team of robot soccer players, which can beat a human world cup champion team'' ([#!RoboCup97-proceedings!#], 
\bgroupp.~v\end{tex2html_bgroup}
). The challenge posed by the goal is enormous and inspires hundreds of researchers yearly throughout the world to engage themselves and their students in RoboCup. RoboCup has been used as a research challenge in parallel with a usage for educational purposes, and to stimulate the interest of the public for robotics and artificial intelligence (AI). Each year since 1997, researchers from different countries have gathered to play the world cup. The event has drawn an increasing amount of interest from the public, as robotics is still not commonplace.

The intention of this manual[*] is to guide the developers of simulated league teams in the beginning steps, and also serve as a reference manual for the experienced users.
