Frequently Asked Questions About RoboCup2004

• What should I do in order to be a RoboCup2004 Volunteer? - Right now, you only have to send an email to secretariat@robocup2004.pt stating your interest to be a volunteer. The RoboCup2004 organization is preparing a written Volunteer Program describing the volunteers' responsabilities and tasks as well as what the organization will offer to volunteers, most likely only free access to the RoboCup2004 site and some special giveaway. The organization does not have budget to pay anything related with travel and/or accommodation. When available, we will send by email the Volunteer Program to everyone that previously stated her/his interest.

• Como posso levar os alunos da minha escola ou os membros da minha instituição a visitar o RoboCup 2004? - Basta juntar pelo menos 20 pessoas, trazer um documento com papel timbrado da instituição comprovando que duma instituição se trata e, no caso dos alunos, existir pelo menos um professor que os acompanhe. O bilhete a pagar terá tarifa reduzida (1.5 EUR por pessoa) e poderão surgir oportunidades de visitas guiadas por responsáveis da RoboCup Federation. Aconselhamos os horários da manhã, pois é previsível que o recinto esteja cheio e decorrerão na mesma jogos e provas entre os robots continuamente.

(for those teams who get qualified as of March 15) register using the web page interactive form from March 30 to May 15.
