The competition is not quite over; however, three of the final six teams have met their mission objectives already. Who ranks 1st, 2nd, and 3rd is still to be determined as judges calculate each of the robot’s penalties and running times. Considering the substantial margin and relatively low number of penalties for Stanford’s Junior, Carnegie Mellon’s Boss, and Virginia Tech’s Odin, chances are very good that the top three positions will be filled by these three teams.
DARPA will announce the final scores Sunday.
This is indeed an historical moment. Go Tartans!
