A few thoughts: -Using the most advanced perception, combined with extremely detailed maps and pre-planning is the most likely to succeed. -The stabilization for the computation is amazing: the vehicle itself, a custom stabilization mount, internally stabilized racks, disks in suspension, and robust disks for internal stabilization. -Their plans to continue work after the race, regardless of the outcome, is respectable and exciting. -Their win would greatly influence my chances for a good job :) i hope ican have a good time with robot.net
