Desert Race Will be a Tough Challenge

Well, today is the big day. The second annual Robot Challenge is being held today. We'll have to wait and see if there is a winner....

Last year's race went from Barstow, CA to Pimm, Nevada; this years race is going the opposite way. So far, Carnegie-Mellons entry, the Highlander, narrwly beat the Stanford University team's modified Volkswagon SUV. Also running is Carnegie-Mellon's Sandstorm which was last years first place contestant, despite only having made about 7.5 miles of the course.
