6. Contributions to the RoboCup MSL community

• Junhao Xiao, one member of NuBot team, served to MSL community as a EC member. He has also served as a MSL TC member of RoboCup 2016 Leipeig, Germany, a member of MSL TC and OC of RoboCup 2015 Hefei, China, and local chair of RoboCup 2015 MSL.
• Huimin Lu, one member of NuBot team, served to MSL community as a member of TC and OC of RoboCup 2008 Suzhou , and he was also appointed as the local chair of RoboCup 2008 MSL. He was a member of TC of RoboCup 2011 Istanbul.
• We released the source code of our robots and a simulation system under an open source license. Particularly, this simulation system supports 3D simulation of the MSL competition between two teams, which was employed in 2016 China Robot Competition. It can also be used for the research of multi-robot coordination control.
