Did Anyone Accept the Challenge?

[Geek 2.0]

If my memory serves me correctly, there was a thread last year where a challenge was put forth for teams to make their robot entirely autonomous, with no operator control. A few teams pledged to do it.

I in no way criticize anyone who said they would and then didn't, because it's something that is really difficult to do, and not just anyone can do it. But I would like to know if you've seen anyone (or you are someone) who actually did this, because if they did, they deserve the utmost respect.
