[wplug] DARPA Urban Challenge Celebration

[Patrick Wagstrom]

This isn't strictly Linux related, but is nerdy enough that folks may be
interested.  If you haven't heard, Carnegie Mellon won the 2007 DARPA Urban
Challenge, in which autonomous vehicles navigated a city for a couple of
hours.  It's a remarkable achievement.  Anyway, here's your change to get
up close and personal with the vehicle and find out more about the
achievement.

It should be easily accessible to folks from outside CMU.

Join Dr. Jared Cohon in a celebration honoring the Carnegie Mellon Tartan
Racing Team, winners of the 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge.

Tuesday, December 4, 2007
	4:30 - 6:30 p.m.
Rangos Ballroom, University Center

Years of hard work and sustained inspiration paid off for Tartan Racing on
November 3, when its robotic vehicle, Boss, blew away the competition at
the DARPA Urban Challenge in Victorville, California.

Come gather round the Urban Challenge Trophy, watch some videos of Boss
speeding safely through the course and, most of all, help us honor and
congratulate this ingenious team.

Refreshments will be served.

Boss will also be on display on the CFA lawn, December 4, 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.
