The call just came from the Director of DARPA, Dr. Tony Tether, that team Victor Tango has officially been admitted to the Urban Challenge Event on November 3, 2007. Its been a tough week, with endless hours of work day and night. Nerves on edge and patience running thin, the team reacts to the news with cheers and sighs of relief simultaneously.
Here is a video of the final qualification run:
First thing on the agenda, a game of hacky-sack. Second, a night of celebration and good sleep. Third, back to work.
