2010 SparkFun Autonomous Vehicle Competition

Last year when SparkFun Electronics hosted their first autonomous vehicle competition, 2 robots (out of 8) managed to compete the course. This year, there were 18 teams, and the competition was fast and furious, with the winning ground vehicle making it around the SparkFun building autonomously in 1 minute 55 seconds. The fastest UAV generated its own wormhole and finished the course in -4 seconds… Either that, or it got 30 seconds free for an autonomous landing. Here’s a highlight video:
