Grandpa, Grandma, Scott, Greg, Dad, and I are wishing you the best of luck! I have all of New Jersey and friends all over the US rooting for you. Go Odin, we know you can do it!!
Woo! First mission is done! Keep it up Hokies!!!
I've been watching the livecast, but I haven't seen VT in a while. What's the status? How are we doing? I'm so excited for you all!
Go Oding! Go HOKIES!
HaHa! Live commentary regarding VT Odin is, "This team is performing very, VERY well."
Odin is still looking smooth. Good job you guys!
VT Odin just came in first (pertaining to time) for the second mission (in addition to coming in first for the first mission set). Took about 4 hours to complete the 2 missions. Great job!
Congratulations! Awsome showing so far. VT has come a long way since 2004!!!
Congratulations Tech! Fantastic! Beautiful to see VT finish.
You all did FANTASTIC!! SO proud of you! Go Hokies and go TORC!!
How did we do? I just got home and all I see on the DARPA site is that we completed the race.
We won't know who won until tomorrow. They still have to tally the "how did they drive" points to their times.
Wow, what a race!! I repeat, we knew you could do it and we are so very proud of your accomplishments!
