To whom interested in Robot Sumo, 

I have introduced the video tape of the 5th annual All Japan Robot
Sumo Tournament held on December 23rd, 1993.  Its specifications are
like follows;

    1. Length of the program is about 3 hours and 40 minuites.
    2. Format is VHS NTSC.  I cannot make conversion to PAL or
       other format.
    3. Language spoken is Japanese.  There's no English subtitle.
    4. Original copyright belongs to Fuji Software Inc., the main
       sponsor of the event.

It shows many of latest high-tech Japanese Sumobots.  I'm sure all of
you can enjoy the program although language spoken is Japanese.
I could have copyright agreement with the company.  I would like to
distribute copies of it worldwide.

But, my resource is limited.  In order to reduce postal cost and time
consumption, I need help distributing tapes, so that much more people
will be able to see the progam.

I have already gotten help from following people;

    Brad Smallridge  @ The San Francisoco Robotics Society, U.S.A.
    Ray Fairall	     @ University of Newcastle, Australia.
    Victor Callaghan @ University of Essex, England

I appreciate those generous people.  Each person will be a distributer
in each area.  I will post another article in this group when it
becomes ready.

I need a little more help to be a distributer, especially in Central
and Eastern U.S.

Any responces are welcomed,
---
