Robotic racers gear up for desert

The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's (Darpa) challenging competition offers a $2m (ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£1.1m) prize.

But the vehicles have to negotiate 240km of tough rocky and hilly terrain on their own. Last year, none finished.

So do we have a CF entry?That prize would do the site up a treat. ;)

A CF entry would be a bad idea... We'd spend so much time arguing somebody else would win before ours got off the start line..

:D

Interesting article though.
