Victor Tango Crosses Finish Line!!!

Nov 3, 2007
Almost two years of hard work has paid off in a brilliant finale! Dr. Tony Tether waves the checkered flag as Odin crosses the Urban Challenge finish line in under six hours.
The last five minutes of the race were an intense battle to the finish line between Victor Tango, Stanford, and Tartan Racing. Who would have thought a six hour race with autonomous vehicles could come down to minutes?! All three teams held their breath waiting for the robots to come within eye shot. Unfortunately, Odin was the third to cross the line. It was certainly frustrating for the team, especially since Odin had been in the lead for almost the entire race. However, it is truly an amazing accomplishment to be one of the top three teams in the world in urban autonomous vehicle technology.

Here is a video of Odin completing a 4 way stop during the competition. More video will be available as it is processed by the team.
