Fwd: [rc-ssl-oc] Robotcup Soccer in spanish TV show El Hormiguero
Hello!We’ve received the following email from a Spanish TV station and we were asked to share this offer with you.The Spanish TV show ‘El Hormiguero’ wants to show robots playing soccer as part of their science section. They like the speed of games in the SSL. While they originally linked videos that are not identical to robots participating in the SSL, they were also interested in our robots when we showed some footage from Sydney.Their show is filmed in Madrid and performed live with participants and guests. Their set is about 3 meter in length, so teams might have to adapt to smaller fields and other adaptations to make the game look more interesting on a small field. They are looking for one team to participate in their show, and trip & shipping would be covered by them. After the demo they are planning on a short interview.Teams who are interested should contact s**a@7yaccion.com mailto:s**a@7yaccion.com, with a video of your robots in action, so they can know exactly what they could expect on their show. The show will adapt the date of recording / airing based on your availability, so you will be able to select a time that’s working for you.Greetings,Tobias

Hi!
My name is Sara Cordero, I'm contacting you from the Science Department of 'El Hormiguero' TV show (nominated for Emmys Awards).
First of all I hope that you and your whole environment are fine despite the covid19.
El Hormiguero is a prime time show on National Spanish TV and it’s broadcasted in the whole South America and parts of Asia. It’s a talk show with guests such as Will Smith, Hugh Jackman, Jessica Chastain, Tom Cruise, Ben Stiller, Lenny Kravitz, Jennifer Aniston, etc... We would love to invite you to be a part of our science section and do in the program a robot soccer game they do in the Robocup. We particularly like the category of small robots (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_A8hrs6CT8). This video is from 2016, but I’ve seen a video from 2020 in which they seem to be participating. Could you put me in touch with any of the teams that compete in this video?
You can see the science section here: https://www.antena3.com/programas/el-hormiguero/secciones/ciencia-marron/ Our science team have scientists of different fields which will contact you in case you need technical assistance. The show has a strong commitment to science and innovation, that’s why we perform scientific experiments every week and try to bring the latest scientific discoveries and technologies and the people behind it. We are pioneers in this type of show in Spain (we are now in our 14th season) and we have exported the format to many different countries.
Here you can see some of the projects that we have brought the program:

The show is filmed in Madrid and we perform every section live with the participation of the guest/s so we would need you to show your art live in our studios. The expenses of your whole trip and shipping will be covered by us. There will be a brief interview about how it's work.
If you have any questions or concerns do not hesitate to let me know.
Thank you very much for your attention.
Best regards,
Sara Cordero
Should anyone pursue this, the following company may be relevant for connecting with while in Madrid.
They have historically been involved with other STEM initiatives such as FIRST Lego League at the executive level and have a presence in Madrid. The company focuses on manufacturing a number of structures mainly in the aerospace and wind energy industries using advanced robotics. Their products are the systems that do the manufacturing. They may find robocup relevant.
Thanks,
