> Venues and Schedule

> There are four venues for RoboCup 2007. They are all located
> on or near the Georgia Tech campus. They are all walking
> distance from each other, but we will also have special buses
> running throughout the day to connect them.
>
> The Georgia Tech Campus Recreation Center (CRC) is the main
> robot venue. The CRC is located next to west campus housing
> where senior teams have rooms. TSRB is the main venue for
> simulation events and the Nanogram Demonstration.
> The Georgia Tech Student Center will host Junior Dance and
> Junior Rescue (Junior Soccer will be in the CRC). The 4LL
> and Microsoft Challenge will be held in the Fox Theatre
> during the preliminary rounds (July 1-6). They relocate from
> the Fox to the CRC for the finals.
>
> Draft schedules for the overall event, and arranged per
> league are available here:

> request that you wear your badge at all times.

> If you don't have a room reservation, NOW is the time to get
> one. We have been advised by the Indigo Hotel that they
> still have rooms. We recommend Indigo because it is a quite
> attractive hotel at a low price, and it is located across the
> street from the Fox Theatre. Be sure to ask for the RoboCup
> rate of $105.

> We have set up a receiving center at Georgia Tech for the
> express purpose of receiving robots and other equipment for
> RoboCup 2007.
>
> All costs for shipping to Georgia Tech, and then back to your
> university must be handled by you. When you arrange shipping
> to Atlanta, please also arrange for shipping back to your university.
>
> We accept responsibility for your equipment when it arrives
> at Georgia Tech. Your crates will be delivered to the
> appropriate venue when that venue opens. After the
> competition we will transport the crates back to our
> receiving center to be picked up by the shipping companies.

> Do you Need 220V?
>
> We will provide standard US power outlets at paddock areas.
> Standard US power is 110 V AC at 60 Hz. Some leagues and
> teams have asked about 220 or 240 V AC power. It is
> difficult (and expensive) to anticipate who will need which
> type, so we request you purchase an appropriate converter at
> the store below, and have the converter shipped to your team
> at Georgia Tech:
>
> http://www.voltageconverters.com/voltage_converters.html
>
> Use the following address:
>
> Your Name / RoboCup 07 XXXXXX League
> College of Computing
> 888 Hemphill Avenue NW
> Atlanta, GA 30318
> USA
>
> Shipping takes two days from the supplier.
