Robotic VX to compete again!

[Triathlete]

Glad to see you guys are still "tinkering" around with the RoboVX! Was wondering what had happened to you guys. Keep us updated of the progress. This challenge should make the last one seem like a walk in the park. Good luck!

WormGod has contributed his 3D model of the VX to the cause! We will be using the 3D model as part of our visualization tool to better understand the behavior of our robot and its perception of the environment. This contribution is very much appreciated... vehicross.info rocks! Gary rocks!

Good luck to the team Art. I am just glad to see the model getting some worthy use.

I know of a maroon Mercury that ALMOST negotiated it's way around a car and a bus and through on-coming Southbound traffic to make a U-turn into Northbound traffic and INTO MY PATH! Perhaps you could brain-tap the driver and put his skill to use. Let me know if I need to collect the head. Sorry, just a little bitter...deep breath...

Yeah, human drivers can be dangerous... maybe someday robots will do a better job.
But for now, you know what they say "To err is human....to really foul things up requires a computer."

Very cool!!! Glad this place and all of it's connections can be of help..

Keep up the dream!!

We are one of 89 teams competing in the 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge. We are partnering with the Computer Science department at The University of Texas (Robotics/Artificial Intelligence). Checkout a recent picture of our VX with the Texas license plate "ROBOT" :

Sweet, so how much $$ is sitting on/in that thing right now?
