After a long flight, the team has finally arrived on Australian soil. Just one more night of sleep until the moment we have all been waiting for finally arrives and the first challenge begins.

While the TURTLEs are resting from their tournament in Portugal, our care robot HERO is on his way to the German Open. He is ready for his debut!

In continuation of the hot-or-not event organized by Sioux:

Soccer player Robin van Persie a.k.a. the Flying Dutchman first played in the Dutch national team in June 2005. Van Persie is the player within the team with the most goals behind his name. Van Persie is a dangerous player, all other teams know that once you give him some free space you will lose him. Van Perslucht from Tech United Eindhoven is also considered a dangerous player, he has won four world titles and over 6 European and local awards. Does robot-Ronaldo from the Portuguese team know this? Probably he doesn’t! Does Van Sleutelen from Tech United Eindhoven know about the fast shot of the Portuguese robot-Ronaldo, well we are sure: he doesn’t!

After a long week filled with challenges, stress, competitions and enthusiasm, RoboCup 2017 has come to an end. This newsletter summarizes everything that happened this week.
