We will have free shuttle service from the MARTA station to our check in locations during the the check in times on June 30 and July 1 -- look for a yellow bus with a "RoboCup" sign in the window.

call: 404-201-0751 ------------------------------------------------------------ Those who are staying in on campus housing may purchase a parking permit at check in time. Permits are available at $30 (cash only please). These permits will allow you to park on the street in the housing area. Those who are staying off campus may use any of the several pay lots on campus (blue areas on the campus map). ------------------------------------------------------------ We suggest you bring a print out of the RoboCup 2007 website and photographs of your robots playing soccer. Show these items to the Customs officials as you go through the airport. It will help them understand the purpose of the robots. Be sure to emphasize that all equipment will be going back with you, otherwise you may have to pay for import taxes. Also, if your robots are valued less (e.g. less than $2000) the procedures are simpler. If you have a problem at the airport, call Tucker Balch at 678-523-8685. ------------------------------------------------------------ We will provide
standard US power outlets at paddock areas. Standard US power is
