How were you involved with this?

Nah... I'll take Kuci claim of "we" as valid based on his anaolgy (but doing so for academic stuff IS pretty weak).

I read about this in popular science. Which system did they use? And if you wrote a program for the topicgraphical aspects of the course, then it would seem that the victory is kinda hollow as it would be specific to the course and not for general use.

Make one that can go in any city without having to update a topigraphical map.

Kuci

How many pedestrians were run over in the course of the competition? (By your team, or other teams. Or even by you personally.)

**espabamar** · 11-05-2007, 04:12 AM

We won!!!

USA! USA! USA!

**PefeFoesk** · 11-05-2007, 04:13 AM

(We actually built 2 cars.)

**ViagraFeller** · 11-05-2007, 04:19 AM

I revoke my earlier

and change it to a

based on that third image...

It's just so big that you can't see it. Kinda like the giftwrap around the Universe (and bow and card, though those things are slightly smaller).

Congrats

**gariharlj** · 11-05-2007, 04:39 AM

That would have been very cool.

**bestcigsnick** · 11-05-2007, 04:45 AM

It would help with the sinkholes. I could carry a full load and dump it when necessary.

I really love the idea of driving over things though. I'd be sure to obey the speed limit however. Not to do so would be wrong.

**RagonaCon** · 11-05-2007, 05:01 AM

I know I'm as happy as a pig in slop. Uh huh.

**carlsberg21** · 11-05-2007, 06:07 AM

Imagine a world where all cars are driven by computer. You could then make a self-replicating virus to infect all cars and then have every car seek out and try to run over a specific person!

**konanoileaski** · 11-05-2007, 06:40 AM

Weak. If I was doing this, I could've won 3 million.

**wowwieholmes** · 11-05-2007, 10:20 AM

Congrats! Sounds pretty cool.

And yes, Kuci can and should take good feeling from this and feel a part of the success. It is ok to say 'we' in this case.

Am I correct in assuming that the big difference between this race and last is the improved (smaller, higher resolution, more reliable) LIDAR?

KH had KillDozer in his sig line.
