The event is only 2 months away and the organization is proceeding ever more rapidly. We are working hard with a large and enthusiastic team to make RoboCup 2013 a competition that brings fun, excitement and technical highlights for both the participants and the public. You can also follow us on Twitter (@RoboCup2013  <http://twitter.com/robocup2013> twitter.com/robocup2013) and Facebook ( <http://www.facebook.com/RoboCup2013> www.facebook.com/RoboCup2013).

2.   Registration

The early registration deadline for the Major competitions (April 30) is approaching rapidly. So, if you want to benefit from the reduced early registration fees, make sure you registered before this date.

The Junior pre-registration deadline by regional/national representatives (May 4) is also almost due. Early registration for Junior teams is still possible until May 31. 

For both Major and Junior teams, please make sure to register your teams before May 31 as no team registration is possible anymore afterwards.

3.   Letter of invitation

The participants from the countries requiring visas will need an invitation letter. The invitation letter will be sent by email to the participants after the registration is complete. The wire transfer for the registration fees is known to take some time. The letters of invitation will be sent afterwards. So, please wait patiently for the payment to be complete.
