Be careful with the standard output stream

Hi all,

This is to remind everyone that all your outputs to the standard stream
(basically System.out.print....) in your controller is collected during the
contest in a file available for download after the round (results.zip and
errors.zip in the last round directory).

The results.zip file was flooded yesterday by a judoka (when unzipped it
gives 278 megabytes, used at 99.9% by a constantly repeated sequence of
information concerning servo positions) WHICH MAKES IT ALMOST UNUSABLE.

Two files in your directory are meant to collect your debugging outputs
(log.txt for text and memory.dat for binary stuff). And the java standard
output must be used only when the output can't be made to these log.txt and
memory.dat files, or at least with care.

Maybe this should be specified clearly at some place on the webots site for
the
upcoming participants.

good luck for your programming,

Yann-Aël
