Pretty sweet...they're releasing bots every five minutes...about a half
dozen or so were already eliminated, but a number of contenders are
obviously doing it up right. Results taken from

So far, 4 vehicles have completed the course, with only one still on the
course, the big old honking truck Terra Max. They pause that one
overnight and will allow it to continue at daylight.

Official times for the four finishers were announced at noon today.
Stanford wins the $2 million prize!

6:53:58 (avg 19.1 mph) - Stanford
7:04:50 (avg 18.6 mph) - Red Team Too (Carnegie Mellon)
7:14:00 (avg 18.2 mph) - Red Team
7:30:16 (avg 17.5 mph) - Gray Team (funded by an insurance company!)

Oshkosh's TerraMax is through the Beer Bottle Pass, and is expected to
finish within the hour, although with an adjusted time beyond the ten
hour race limit. None of the other finalists completed the course.

Thanks for the info - I've been looking for it in the news and on the
Grand Challenge site

TerraMax finally finished - still wondering its time.
