Preparing for Second Run in Qualifying Event B

Oct. 30th, 2007
In the first round of qualifying runs, Odin was able to complete 2 of 3 qualifying events without any serious traffic violations or hiccups. The one course that Odin had trouble with was Qualifying Event B, where he was unable to finish because he got stuck in "the gauntlet", a maze of disabled vehicles. Today Odin is scheduled to run this event at 12:30pm. The team has a practice at 8:40am to verify that software modifications aimed at preventing a failure in course B are effective.

The practice run is a success. Odin runs the guantlet without a hitch. It appears the software teams hard work has paid off. We will see for sure later today.

Way to go Team Victor Tango & Odin! Not getting much done at work today, keep looking to this Blog for updates. I Have a question, what does "Hero" mean? I keep hearing it being shouted in the video clips?

There is a DARPA official yelling "zero" when the vehicle come to a stop at the stop line.
