Some of you have asked where to find photos and videos. Therefore we would like to send you this collection of links.

The images from this book, and many other high-resolution images, can be downloaded from the RoboCup 2013 Flickr page. All content is free to use, but please add a reference to the name of the photographer (either Bart van Overbeeke or Albert van Breemen).
