DARPA Grand Challenge Updates

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the coming-right-up dept.

GraffitiKnight writes "After only 1 team managed to successfully navigate the DARPA Qualifying course, DARPA has rewritten the rules to let almost everyone compete. Wired has the story, which also mentions rumors that the race will run to 150 miles, much less than the original plans of 210 - 300 miles." Here is some earlier Slashdot coverage of the race.

    Is this "trolls in a circlejerk day" on Slashdot?

    Could the two of you talk about how the robots you've invented in your mind are affected by the DMCA, the RIAA, and software patents?

    Since you're using embedded linux, has SCO tried to sue you yet?

    Has John fucking Titor come to steal your pretend robots yet?

    Get the fuck off my lawn, you ingrates.

    YHBT.

    P.S. This post is valid XHTML, to the point that I can control.

    Oh yeah, one other thing: when you're hot, you're hot. Check out my highly moderated repost of an Amazon customer review in my comment history.

    I confess my trolling in the name of sacred jihad.
