Re: Meet BOB, Caltech's entry into the DARPA Grand Challenge
One of the other leading contenders for The DARPA Grand Challege Is Red Team Racing, led by Dr. Red Whittaker at Carnegie Mellon University. Their new web site has just gone public, and it makes for some interesting reading.

Given their past history with projects like "No Hands Across America" and their Reactive System For Off-Road Driving, it will be real interesting to see them go head-to-head with the Caltech team (and the rest of the pack).

But I have to admit to a little bit of bias in favor of Team Virginia Tech

Here are the teams that have made it so far. Are there any others that folks are following closely?
