University Rover Challenge

I mentioned the rover challenge in a post several months ago, the competition was this past weekend and involved 10 different schools 7 of which competed. The results are posted at http://www.marssociety.org/portal/Members/schnarff/URC2008Results/

Congrats to all those who fielded a robot and to Oregon State University (My school) for winning. I hear it was a great time and it looks as though this may be a good competition for those that were in FIRST and are looking for a competition to enter in College. It is small right now but I will officially join my school’s team next year and would encourage all of the FIRST Alumni to take a look.
