[Gumstix-users] DARPA Qualifying Trials

[Don A. <do...@gu...>]

the DARPA Grand Challenge has started qualifying trials:

"The autonomous robotic vehicles began competing Wednesday in the 
first of a series of qualifying rounds at the California Speedway. 
Half will advance to the October 8 starting line of the so-called 
Grand Challenge.

The grueling, week-long semifinals are designed to test the vehicles' 
ability to cover a roughly 2-mile stretch of the track without a 
human driver or remote control".




We were aware of some earlier contestants using gumstix, but they did 
not qualify for this stage. Does anyone know if any of the remaining 
DARPA teams are using gumstix technology?
