Work in progress.  If it couldn't done in this weekend, I'll give up
and postpone it to 7.0.

I found this change makes code slightly complicated when
Site/Robot/Family/List refactoring had not been done.  So it would
be postponed to 7.0.

I'll draw picture to describe what I think.  If it couldn't done in
this weekend, I'll give up and postpone it to 7.0.
