(I hope that it is Portuguese or I just made a big time "fo-paa". )

Seriously, is it possible to get an English version of the story?

Well, here's a really disgusting translation by Altavista's Babelfish:

"One of the areas of the knowledge instigante for curious, the robotics, has significant presence in the Globaltech. Two robots gauchos represent the State in competitions in the central enclosure for bullfighting of the fair. The projects Buddy VI, of the College Province of Are Peter, and TechTchê, of the Senai Mecatrônica, goes to show why they make pretty in international competitions. Both had participated of 15ª edition of the competition of robots of the First foundation (and Recognition Will be Inspiration of Science and Technology), in U.S.A.. Buddy VI took the vice-championship, while the TechTchê got the sixth rank and the prize of better initial team. The administrative director of the Province of Is Peter, Guillermo Peretti, not only counts that the investment in robotics - the college participated of the competition for the sixth time - brings shares for all the pupils, the involved ones with the project. - Since 1ª series of Basic Ensino we have disciplines it of initiation to the robotics. It is a subject that inspires and awakes the interest for accurate sciences. The teeny ones live asking when they go to make its robots - Peretti counts. What it goes to roll in the Globaltech First Robotics Competition the competition defies the teams and its people who orientates to decide a common problem in a daily pay-definitive period, in which all the participants use the same standardized parts and they follow the same rules. Teamses of the United States and Brazil will participate. First Lego League Is a national program for students of 10 the 15 years that the practical and interactive robotics in a esportiva atmosphere combines ambientada. The teams must construct an independent robot total capable to complete the some missions. In the Globaltech, regional South with the subject In the Limits will be carried through an official competition, where the teamses will find forms to help carrying people of necessities special. Soccer of Robots With robots of Vienna, São Paulo and the UFRGS, is a competition of advanced technology of robots in a confined space. The researchers dispute with mobile systems of robotics. The objective is to understand scientific concepts better and the technological development."

See - you were probably better off in Portuguese than in Engrish.
But I propose a deal: I'll provide you with a great translation of the article, printed in fine silky Brazilian paper, and I'll hand deliver it to you when you arrive at the airport with some nice Cyber Blue lads. Sounds fair, doesn't it?
Is May 16 good for you?
