Easy young 'ens. I am the lead mechanical engineer for the Florida Tech team. Carnegie Mellon and Florida Tech have a great worknig relationship. The Carnegie Mellon team has been instrumental in providing us with advice to get this project started. In fact we were offered the opportunity to join the Red Team. This will come as a shock to the person who said "Good Luck beating the Red Team", but that is exactly what we plan to do.
As for sensor perception. Nearly every person who made a comment is correct. We are discussing using variations of several of the systems suggested here. I am unsure how many people have read the tech papers for each team, but I believe it was team DAD that didn't use a single LADAR unit and they finished very strong. If the course is of a similar make-up to the first 7.4 miles we saw this past March, then expect a winner.
