You can get live updates of DARPA's Grand Challenge* at this site.

I am rooting for Team TerraMax because:

1. The Ohio State Univeristy is a team partner.
2. Oshkosh Truck, the sponsor, is about the only entrant that is nearby. Most of the other teams are from California.
3. Their robot looks really cool.



The team that is favored to win is Red Team from Carnegie Mellon.



* The Grand Challenge is a 200 - 300 mile robot race between Los Angeles and Las Vegas with a cash award of $1 million. There can be no human direction, intervention, etc. once the race starts. The specific route will not be announced until just two hours before race time.
