After two years of really hard work (and I mean really hard!), we moved our first steps
Ehm, ok, our robots moved their first steps. And most important, I saw my 3-years-research run on real platform.
I can understand you are not excited as I am, so I just invite you to came next days at the 1° Mediterranean Open!!!
For facebook-addicted, we have an event too: check it out here!
Remember to bring your caps, some flags, a very big cup of pop-corn (or two, one for me
) and some friends!
I wish you enjoy the games!

Painting the snow
Originally uploaded by ximilian
Walking towards the Coliseum (or Colosseum, or, frack me, call it as you wish), I was wondering how much snow there should be. Not too much. Therefore, no white Colosseum. Besides the jerks, that were throwing to the people snow balls (thank God there was a policeman), there was a cute blip of colours, too.
Black and white, but whit a touch of colourful rainbow.
And of course the snow at the Coliseum: could you imagine a more beautiful day?

Footprints
Originally uploaded by ximilian
Friday morning (last week), a great snowfall in Rome. Great, well, a little one.
Enough to cover the grass, the holes in the soil, and the dog’s little things.
A man crossed the garden and left a trace behind.
I came, I took a picture.
