Re: [ros-users] ROS Day @ISR - University of Coimbra

Hi everyone!

Thanks for all the help with the Gazebo visual aid and the presentation in general!
I'll be posting the presentation on the event page soon.

Once more, thanks everybody, fingers crossed for the presentation, I hope we get a bunch of new ROS users!
