Grand Challenge Videos Posted

Posted by michael on from the i-for-one-welcome-our-new-etc.-etc. dept.

awtbfb writes "For those readers not fortunate enough to watch the satellite feed on the day of the race, videos of the Grand Challenge have been quietly posted on the race site. These include official AVI and DVD compilations and unedited clips in Quicktime MP4. The compilations also include some footage from the chase helicopters. Feel free to yell 'No! Turn right! Your other right!' as you watch these."

      Actually, you're not going to get anything transfered between 2:00:00am and 2:59:59am tonight. Those times all aren't gonna happen because we're springing forward... you can have the extra hour in October.

    DARPA - 204 actuall employees, $2.8 billion/year operating budget. With a 'B'.
    They can probably afford the bandwidth bill.
    (hell, do they have to pay for bandwidth? or do they get the "we invented the damned thing" discount?)

    Damn I saw this the other day, now it's prolly slashdotted for the downloads. Teaches me to wait.

    We are truly sorry. The people responsible for attempting to unslashdot the slashdotted story have been slashdotted. They then attempted to unslashdot themselves by posting another mirror, but alas, the attempt to unslashdot the first attempt at unslashdotting the slashdotted story was also slashdotted.

    Hopefully soon they will be sacked.

  12. Anyone got a pigeon handy ? by Zaphus · · Score: 2, Funny

    Can someone please send a pigeon over to DARPA to pick up a copy of the DVD image and bring it back ? Then we can get on with torrenting it.

    On the other hand - it's going to take me 35 hours to download @ 10kb/sec, but thats still faster than flying in a 767 from here (Melbourne, Australia) to DARPA and back!

  13. how disapointing by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Funny

    maybe this was the "lowlights" video, but really, what a waste of time.

    some cars follow gps. badly.

    although a motorbike did fall over. that was great.

    My real complaint is about the terrible comentator. Yes mate, i'm sure "those folks in the middle east" would drop their weapons and flee when a 5mph car making a loud beeping noise drives towards them then falls into a ditch.

    pathetic.
