Monday 29th of June: The Saga Continues
Submitted by Remco de Lange on Mon, 06/29/2009 - 21:43.A new day, everyone was very excited to enter the premesis of the Robocup Playgrounds and stood up at 7 o'clock. For the fanatics the arrival was slighly disappointing. They could not start working, because only the people with a member-pass were allowed to enter the hall. After some football at the parking lot, we decided to split up. One group went back to the hotel and the other group build up the stand.
Back in the hotel many of us started coding again. Unfortunalty disaster struck suddenly, TUlip crashed when one of the ankles passed through a particular angle. As unexpected as the arrival of the failure was, so was its departure.We are still not sure what it was or where it came from, and probably never will. In another room the head of Eindhoven was fixed, resulting in two working heads for TUlip.
Tomorrow will be an exiting day for TUlip, because he has to pass the requirement tests. We expect he will walk through easily.
Sunday 28th of June: RoboTrip 2009 Begins
Submitted by Remco de Lange on Sun, 06/28/2009 - 13:17.Greetings from the Dutch RoboCup Team in Graz, Austria! After having survived a grueling bus ride of 15 hours from beautiful Holland, through the bleak expanses of Germany, we are now sitting comfortably in our Hotels. Delft's TUlip seems much at ease in room 310, Wi-Fi is up and running, and coding has been resumed… so “Business as usual”.
We are comforted by the thought that it is dreary weather outside, though a short excursion to a local Chinese restaurant has brought everyone in high spirits! We are all looking forward to the opening of the Cup tomorrow, and are confident that TUlip will "put his best foot forward"!
