GPS is now accurate to within a few feet

Im willing to bet you could win this challenge with an automatic tranny jeep, an extra fuel tank

and the stuff that came in the FIRST kit of parts

it would be easy to use the smaller motors in the kit to servo the gas, brakes, steering, shifter on an automatic jeep

all you need to add is a GPS unit, plot your course

and figure out what to do with the $1M prize

obstical avoidance? not required - padded bumpers

cant tell you how many times our bot slammed the wall, railing, operators station during testing and matches - the trick is you have to bounce back far enough to get a good running start again

:c)
