LMR’s local representative in Madrid
LMR’s huge network has people all around the world. Madrid is not an exception.
I am Miguel (a.k.a. mif) and I offered Frits to help LMR people coming to the campus party as the LMR’s local representative in Madrid.
I have prepared some info I think that could be useful, for anything you need, just post it here or send me a PM.
How to get at the Campus Party
The campus party will take place in “La Caja Mágica”, this is a multipurpose building finished in 2009, the XXX tennis takes place there.
Arriving at the airport, the cheapest way to reach the city is using the underground (2 Eur).
The nearest underground station to “La Caja Mágica” is “SAN FERMIN-ORCASUR” (Line 3-yellow): http://www.metromadrid.es/es/viaja_en_metro/trayecto_recomendado/resultado.html?rbOrigen=estacion&idOrigen=808&calle=+Introduce+una+calle…&numeroOrigen=n%BA&cmbCiudadOrigen=Madrid&lugar=+Introduce+un+lugar…&rbDestino=estacion&idDestino=353&calle2=+Introduce+una+calle…&numeroDestino=n%BA&cmbCiudadDestino=Madrid&lugar2=+Introduce+un+lugar…&Simple=0&buscar.x=35&buscar.y=12#
Going from “SAN FERMIN-ORCASUR” to the campus party takes about 1.2 Km walking:

If you take a taxi, he should go to “La caja Mágica” taking the M-40 (about 18 Km and 30 eur aprox. If you arrive at the Terminal 4 a little more).

Learn Madrid’s distribution in 10 seconds
Madrid is very near of the geographical center of Spain, because of this its main roads has a form similar to a star:
The easiest way to know where you are is using the main roads:
- Six highways exiting the city which divides the region in different sectors:
A1. Goes to the North
A2. Goes to the North-East
A3. Goes to the East
A4. Goes to the South
A5. Goes to the South-West
A6. Goes to the North-West
- Three circular highways around the city
M-30. The smallest. Surrounds the center of Madrid.
M-40. Intemediate. Surrounds the suburbs of the city.
M-50. The longest. Surrounds the small cities near Madrid.
The Airport is more or less in the cross of the A2 and the M-40.
"La Caja Mágica" (the place where the campus party will take place) is next to the A4, between the M-30 and the M-40.

welcome to LMR
Hi all, just noticed this.
Hi all, just noticed this. Í’ll be there, just have a holiday picture on me now. I’m not the hairy one (just in case :))
And I'm in trouble, worked the last 2 days on the bot but I am not going to be able to finish it. Needs to much work still. Wonder if I should take it (8kilo's)?
Get dressed, and bring that
Get dressed, and bring that robot! Because I want to see it. No, wait, I want to sign it or something! So when Spain is over, and I am back on LMR, I can follow your bot, and look for angles where my tag is!
Alright, I’ll take it.
Alright, I’ll take it. Can’t put in no effort anymore tonight. I am about ready to go mythbusters on it.
First to arrive
Looks like I’m the first to arrive (tent 21) nothing much happening here yet (and worse, no beer). Damn Frits, you look different yawning
I am hoping that all the sleeping experts are wrong about the percentage of snoaring people.
They spent some serious time and effort on this one.
At least the Russians found back their sputnik.
And ofcourse, Wall-E......
We’re here! We’re coming through the Dooohooor!
It’s Tinhead, Dutchbot and Rik so far. Still awaiting the arrival of Fritsl and Antonb and who else…? I forgot.
So, we decided not to wait in the Caja Magic, but go downtown…
We're back now and online.
Find us now (21:00) near the green stage.
at the end of this thing,
at the end of this thing, while you are still together, you should have a live stream. Maybe wrap up the events for us.
