Gran' Prix for Geeks. I love it!!!

Thank you for the link Mr. Frisby. You may want to check out the DVD "The Great Robot Race" a documentry of the 2005 DARPA (desert based) race. Looks like Stanford and Carnegie Mellon traded positions from the 2005 race. Congress has ordered the Pentagon to have 1/3 of all ground vehicles be self propelled by 2015.
