Check out these GREAT videos of the NQE (National Qualifying Event) compliments of carTV.com (http://www.cartv.com/content/research/channels/index.cfm/channel/cartv_video/action/showvideo/vid/e_0145/vscat/DARPA/vcat/Event/pagenum/1).

And qualification results are available at grandchallenge.org (http://www.grandchallenge.org/) under the "NQE results" tab.

IRV (Indiana's Robotic Vehicle) is touch and go to make the cut for the Oct 8 run in the desert. We are about in the middle of the pack, yet to complete a full run of the qualifying course. But we are scheduled for another two attempts before qualifications close.

Good luck to IRV, Stu - we're all pulling for you.

looking at it there are some intresting results from the 4 runs they listed. Red Team Too had the fastest time so far, completeing everything in about 10 minutes. Stanford which had the best time in 2 rounds was about a minute thirty behind. intresting stuff.
