Re: What will DARPA think of next?

The conditions of the Grand Challenge require that the robots finish the course in 10 hours or less to be eligible for the $2,000,000 prize. Operations are continuing on October 9 to allow TerraMax to complete the course, even though they will be out of contention for the money (given that not even one team finished last year, just being able to finish this year is a very worthy achievement, so they are being given every chance to do so by DARPA).
