Re: Only 1 week until the beginning of the 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge in VictorVille,

I'm going to be at Brunswick Eruption that day. Any chance the good folks at team 25 could put this on a tv/monitor somewhere in case we've got some down time?
The webcast link should be at http://www.grandchallenge.org/ on Nov 3 if you have a laptop.

I've just read that you guys have qualified (along with Stanford, CMU, and Virginia Tech) for the main event. Congratulations!

General update:
DARPA eliminated 12 teams from the running today, and qualified 4 for the main race. The 12 teams are:
First Group eliminated:
1) George Tech/SAIC Sting Racing,
2) Ody-Era,
3) SciAutonics/Auburn Engineering,
4) Team Berlin,
5) University of Utah and
6) Princeton University.

Second group:
1. Caltech
2. Mojavaton
3. Team Jefferson
4. Team Urbanator
5. Gator Nation
6. Team Juggernaut.

This means there are still 23 teams vying for the 20 remaining spots.

My blog list is now:

http://www.teamjefferson.com%2F%3Fq%3Dblog%2F4%2Ffeed - Team Jefferson (eliminated)

So in fact, all 4 teams that have pre-qualified for the race have blogs and you can read up on their thoughts.
