Re: DARPA
I certainly would have gone to Victorville, but instead attended the SCRRF workshops at CSUN. One of our mentors, AJ, planned to go and root for Tartan Racing from Carnegie Mellon Univ (his alma mater). I'm guessing it was worth the trip for him  !!
I went to the starting line for the first DARPA Grand Challenge near Barstow back in 2004. I took my youngest son, Clayton (now a senior on Team 16 - Bomb Squad), and we had a blast! We especially enjoyed the small group of Caltech students who painted themselves with "Go Bob!" and led some chants as Bob, the Caltech entry, started on the course.
