Things are changing rapidly.  It's started earlier than I thought.
I'm going to leave current company.  Oh, well, I decided...

Sorry, I did not intend to tell you my personal complaint.  I would
like to tell you that I will lose internet access soon.  I'm not sure
when I can back to the net.  Hope able to back soon.

Before I got unable, I would like to re-post this article.


To All people interested in Robot Sumo, 

	I here by would like to announce distribution of the video
    tape introducing the 5th annual All Japan Robot Sumo Tournament
    held on December 23rd, 1993.  It shows many of latest high-tech
    Japanese Sumobots.  I'm sure all of you can enjoy this video tape.


Object of this project:
	For growing number of people in the world who are interested
    in Robot Sumo, I would like to introduce how Japanese Robot Sumo
    looks like.  As the event is standing on non-profit base, I would
    like to offer copies of the tape without any charge.  I hope this
    personal project will contribute to the progress of your robotics
    project, the development of such exciting event, Robot Sumo, and
    promotion of our international culture exchange.  (don't blame me
    as a glibber :-) )


Description of the video tape:
	The video tape is VHS NTSC 1/3 speed format.  The length of
    the program is 3 hours 35 minuites.  The language spoken in the
    program is Japanese.  I'm afraid I cannot provide either convert-
    ing or interpreting service.  The original copyright belongs to
    Fuji Software Incorporated, the main sponsor of the All Japan
    Robot Sumo Tournament.  I personally got permission of making
    copies and distributing them worldwide under following two terms.
