| Dear participants, spectators, and roboticists, the EuropeanRobotics group would like to thank you making the C-ELROB 2007 such a great success! The 13 teams from 5 countries showed an impressive enthusiasm to cope with the tough trials. The scenarios were:1. Non-urban: an NBC incident, search area for hazardous materials (8 participants) 2. Urban: an incident with IEDs on a crowded marketplace, improve situation awareness (10 participants) 3. Combined operation of UGV and UAV: fire and NBC incidents, search area for suspicious places (2 participants) 4. Autonomous reconnaissance on urban and/or non-urban route: security patrol, do reconnaissance (7 participants) Most of the teams did take the challenge sportive. The EuropeanRobotics group is more than happy to see that C-ELROB is attracting especially young researchers and stimulating the communication between the groups. To improve the availability of the material we would like to compile a picture and video DVD. Therefore we would like to ask you to send us your material (pictures and video) as CD/DVD or as download. This would allow an overall compilation of the available material. Again thank you very much for your participation and hope to see you at the M-ELROB or 2009 at the next C-ELROB. kind regards
