Woah, that sounds a LOT like where I live.

I used to say that about this place. In fact, ppl who can drive here will find no difficulty in navigating through asteroid belts. Honest.

And well, yes, we are looking forward to Robocup Germany 2006 next year... what University/team are you from BTW?

Rio de Janeiro is a bit better than São Paulo, but we’ll get at their level someday (and it’s not that far, actually). Got any huge traffic jams during your stay?

I waste almost 4 hours of every day just going to work and coming back home (at least I get to read a book while in the bus, so the time is not entirely wasted – but it’s not a comfortable reading…).

Congratulations. Is there a website showing off the contenders, or anything?

I'm afraid you're the only one who feels that way.

Yes, well, aside from Proto, there are two others of which one is you, but I discarded your recent presence as a fluke and had not expected you to be here more often to appreciate me.

But thanks anyway.

Hmm... well if what you are asking for are photos then no, the main page of the event is rather... rudimentary if you ask me. We are planning to update our project's page soon with photos and chronicles of the event ... when it is done I'll post it here.

Not really, just crazy taxi drivers and the likes, but I guess I was kinda lucky regarding the traffic
