Re: Only 1 week until the beginning of the 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge in VictorVille,
I had the privilege of working on Cornell's entry this past year and a half. Along with FIRST, it was by far one of the most educational, interesting, and exciting experiences I've ever had. I learned more throughout the course of the build working on the car than I have from any of my classes to date (which isn't to say that I haven't learned a tremendous amount from classes).

I'll be flying down on Wednesday to see the competition for a few days, until I have to go back to work on Tuesday. I can't wait to see the other entries, and I especially can't wait to see our car compete after a very long and challenging build. Moreover, I'm excited to have a lot more information and knowledge that I can bring with me when mentoring FIRST teams. This is certainly an experience I won't soon forget.
