To add to this. The first DARPA Grand Challenge was held a little more than 18 months ago. At that time no one completed the race. CMU's Sandstorm went about 7 miles and then crashed out of the challenge. None of the others even came up to 7 miles.

I was working under one of the CMU Prof's who also happened to be one of the external technical advisor for Sandstorm. The reason he gave for the crash was the technical people behind Sandstorm did not forsee the following situation: Encounter a curved uphill slope.

So apparently Sandstorm did not reduce its speed when it encountered the curved uphill slope. Hence it jumped the tracks, which lead it to crash and eventually one of the wheels caught fire.

NAME
netris-sample-robot - sample robot for netris SYNOPSIS
netris-sample-robot [-l] DESCRIPTION
The netris-sample-robot is a sample implementation of the robot protocol. It plays quite well but isn't too hard to beat. The robot should be started from netris with the option -r to connect or wait for another player to join. You can also let two robots play against each other in that way, if you like. OPTIONS
-l Writes some log information into the file log in the current working directory. If it can't it bails out. EXAMPLES
To start the netris-sample-robot waiting for another connection with logfile use the following line: netris -w -r 'netris-sample-robot -l' You then just have to start netris somewhere else which connects to that robot. SEE ALSO
netris(6) BUGS
One known bug of the netris-sample-robot is that it hangs quite often. This was already filed as a bugreport against the package so please refrain from doing so again. If you have an idea why this happens or know a solution how to fix it feel free to mail us. AUTHORS
Netris was written by Mark H. Weaver <mhw@netris.org>. This manual page was written by Gerfried Fuchs <alfie@debian.org> for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others). 0.5 16 Feb 2002 netris-sample-robot(6)
