Yesterday we arrived safely and on time in Venice after a connection in Zurich. Although we all survived the trip, only two of sixteen pieces of luggage arrived! Fortunately, we woke up this morning to find that all luggage (including all the robotics equipment) had arrived at our hotel.
Today (the 2nd), we arrived at the competition site. It is amazing! So many teams from all over the world, and many different types of robots in all the different Robocup leagues. About half of the small size teams have arrived, we are working now to unpack and set up our vision & computer systems.
The next two days (3rd and 4th) will also setup days, with competition beginning the fifth.
Got to run for now, my team is leaving without me for lunch
