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."

    TechTV has a summary of all the teams, as well as some streaming video.

    Don't forget these edited video excerpts hosted at tamu -- good stuff. 9 or 31 MB, 19 minutes. Annoying beep tone at the beginning, but it doesn't last too long (just longer than you'd want)

    Although not quite the same thing, a project does exist with a similar goal. It's called 'P2P Bridge'. Check out the project page:

    It'd be sensible for the editors to set this up so that the torrent can be seeded with at least one copy of the whole thing before the slashdotting starts...

    from http://f.scarywater.net :

    These are .torrents for files linked to by Slashdot. The purpose is to lighten the load on the servers.
    These are free of charge publically available files, mirrored on the BitTorrent system. Their respective sources are linked.

    so as you can see, not only has someone thought about it, they've also done it.

    a) some campuses are blocking slashdot.
    b) the DoD has an OC-3 at the least. They don't pay by the gig or tera.

    Because the link doesn't point to a list, it points to a site that uses browser exploits to annoy and forkbomb the user's system.

    Everybody serious already has 15cm accurate GPS with an INS to get past GPS outages. That was required, because you have to stay within the allowed boundary widths, which can be as narrow as 10'. If your vehicle is 6' wide, you're allowed +- 2' deviation from the centerline.

    CMU is using an Applanix GPS. We're using a Novatel; the Applanix didn't meet the temperature spec.
