Dear RoboCuppers,

It's exciting to see some of the live streams from the leagues running. Congratulations to everyone on getting to this point!

The opening ceremony will begin in just a few hours - at 13:30 UTC on Wednesday. Please plan to tune in to the Underline mainstage at that time, followed by the first symposium keynote by Dieter Fox "Toward Robust Manipulation in Complex Environments" at 14:00.

Immediately after that (around 15:00), I encourage you to log in to gather.town. Dieter intends to be there to answer questions, and you will have an opportunity to also mingle with each other.

Remember that all the symposium posters and presentations are now accessible in the symposium room. And next to the symposium room, there is now a set of meeting rooms that you can use as needed (in addition to the league rooms).

I've already enjoyed catching up with some of you in gather.town, and I look forward to seeing more of you there over the coming days.

See you soon!

Peter Stone President, RoboCup Federation
