Grand Challenge Running Today
As I write this, my compadres from CMU are in front, with Stanford close behind. Constantly updated map of the race is available at the Grand Challenge web site. Actually, it's been 12 years since I worked at the Robotics Institute so I probably don't know a single person on the teams actually running this year's race.
This course has some great twists, like three tunnels to render GPS inoperative and make local sensing more important, narrow roads, cattle guards, and deep sand. The Grand Challenge site has the course layout, webcasts, picture galleries and more.
Correction: it appears that the Stanford team is beating the lead CMU team by 5 minutes according the latest update. Damn their black hearts anyway. First their evil dancing basketball player steals my google rank, now this.
