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.

I’ll be there tomorrow

Living here has its cons. I have to work tomorrow morning.

I’ll be there at about 14:30.

I’ll find you.

I am filling up my blog with short, raw, unedited video clips.

And that’s me, for all of you who haven’t reognized me so far…

Yes, a little late. I know, it’s embarassing. And I feel ashamed. If you meet me at CP you recognize my CAcert-T-shirt and the pink cast over my broken left hand.

on the you see me performing one of my other hobbies: giving blood. It’s fun believe me! And it’s useful, too.

Oh, yes, I've got no hardware with me. Only my creativity andexcitement. But LOTS of this!

More impressions

Feel free to provide your own captions, Mifulapirus!

(That’s not a breakfast! That’s a Death Star!)

It took him three days, but now TinHead is making Dust!!! Until they aked him to shut down the noise…

Yes it rains in the plains of Spain! Must be the freaking volcano!

Frits wants to sign our robots and see the pictures here on LMR.

Say Beep!

Here we are posing for the obligatory group shot before the sun sets. Left to Right:

Antonb, Dutchbot, Fritsl, Rik, Mif, Tinhead.

[Antonios, Louis, Frits, Rik, Miguel, Razvan]

Funny facts about our trip:

The weather in Holland was way better than in Central Spain! That was the only blue Spanish sky I saw, to date.

An Icelandic Volcano eruption is grounding planes all over Northern Europe. Let's make some freaking fast and powerful robot to get us home!

I met this nice blog-girl from Romania. She was really interested in what we are doing. We exchanged URLs. That's what you do in a place like this. I guess, she also is tied up in all the events going on here, cause her blog is not showing any updates yet. And I know for a fact, it's not a lack of bandwidth!

If I were made of Bytes, not meat, I would fly home and back every night and get a nice night of sleep.

Last night, we presented LMR to the robot people here on campus. I showed two of my favorite videos to the group: The funny Walk Bot (Spanish people do not get Monty Python?!?!) and of course "Not the fun kind of ride" by CtC. We had Chris live on stage through Skype. That was a lot of fun! This projection screen is 4 meters tall! Seeing Chris, Kari and Charley on Youtube there was more impressive (to me) than seeing Yet Another Astronaut sending his regards from the ISS.

Maybe if they bumped the thing into something really expensive, I'd have a different opinion ;-)
